Rocket-borne photometer measurements of the nightglow continuum at 5400 A and 7140 A are reported for conditions close to equinox at mid-latitude. The 5400 A emission rates are used to determine nitric oxide concentrations under the assumption that the emission at this wavelength arises entirely from the chemiluminescent recombination of nitric oxide and atomic oxygen.The derived nitric oxide concentrations, although in keeping with those previously determined using this technique, are slightly larger than those predicted by current model calculations. The concentrations derived from the 7140 A emission rates, under the same assumption, are significantly larger between 90 and 100 km than those obtained from the 5400 A data. It is concluded that another source of nightglow radiation must exist in the 7140 A region.
