Analysis of O3(nu3) fluorescence spectra (9 to 12 microns), obtained by the SPIRIT 1 rocket-borne IR interferometer, provides determinations of O3(v) column density profiles for at least six quanta of O3 stretching vibration. The observed ozone vibrational state populations are generally consistent with predictions of a nonauroral model describing atmospheric O3(v) excitation in terms of earthshine absorption and three-body recombination of O3(v not less than 3) in the vicinity of a strong auroral excitation process. The derived O3(v) number density profiles are employed to estimate altitude profiles for total O3, O, and H and to examine the response of odd oxygen/odd hydrogen chemistry to auroral bombardment. The results illustrate the potential of spectrally resolved IR fluorescence for remote sensing of high-altitude chemical responses on a global basis.
