Selected mid-UV and near-UV data from the noon period, for which the solar zenith angle was about 50 deg, are presently examined with a view to (1) a deeper understanding of optical backgrounds for discrimination-related purposes, and (2) the implications of these data for excitation mechanisms and compositions. Better than 50-percent agreement is obtained between theoretical predictions and observations, for Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in both the mid- and near-UV regions. Less satisfactory agreement is obtained for the case of dayglow, where agreement is especially poor at near-UV wavelengths.
