Scientific paper

The nitric oxide density profile between the altitudes 72 and 120 km was obtained by means of the airglow gamma(1, 0) band measured with a rocket-borne radiometer flown at Syowa Station (69 deg S, 40 deg E). The NO density was found to have two peaks with a value of 1.5 x 10 to the 8th per cu cm at 90 and 110 km, and is much larger than those in the middle and low latitudes. Because of a long lifetime of NO in the mesosphere, the observed NO enhancement may be due to the after-effect of the particle precipitation event which occurred within the half day before, despite no polar disturbance during the rocket flight.
