Scientific paper

The characteristics of atmospheric glow at 630 nm in a subauroral red arc region is investigated, assuming the glow energy source to be electromagnetic ion-cyclotron waves generated in the topside plasmasphere. Profiles of the volume emission rate of the atmosphere in the 140-1000 km height range are calculated. It is shown that, in contrast to nighttime conditions, two peaks can form on these profiles in the daytime; the lower peak is due to photoelectrons while the upper peak is due to thermal electrons heated to high temperature as a result of wave-dissipation energy coming from the plasmasphere.
