Scientific paper

The nonlinear time-dependent behavior of airglow from high-power radio wave transmissions is studied using a physical model of the modified atmosphere. A set of optical and radar data acquired at Arecibo on the night of January 26, 27, 1987 is described. The examples of 630.0-nm airglow enhancements reveal large fluctuations in the spatial distributions of intensity that cannot be explained by time-invariant theories. An atmospheric model which relates energetic electron spectra to airglow intensity variations is described.
