Observations of the latitudinal variation of the 1356-A, 1304-A, and 989-A O I earth dayglow, obtained with the USAF STP78-1 satellite at solar maximum on March 21, 1979, are reported and compared with the predictions of thermospheric models and published laboratory measurements of electron-impact excitation cross sections. The results are presented in extensive tables and graphs and characterized in detail, with particular attention to the 1304-A solar flux and the 989-A branching ratio. The STP78-1 data (as well as simultaneous AE-E satellite measurements ) are shown to indicate exospheric temperatures that were 220-240-K higher, but varied significantly less with latitude, than those predicted by the MSIS-83 model (Hedin, 1983) for the day of the observations.
