We present our observations of the global exospheric temperature and its variation during the Bastille Day geomagnetic storm that occurred on July 14-18, 2000. The Bastiile Day event was initiated by an X-class solar flare that was followed by a coronal mass ejection. The CME eventually produced a major geomagnetic storm. Global exospheric temperatures were derived by fitting the topside intensity distribution of limb scan data observed by the Low Resolution Airglow and Aurora Spectrograph (LORAAS) on the Advanced Research and Global Observation Satellite (ARGOS). The ARGOS was launched into a sun-synchronous orbit on 23 February 1999 at 2:29:55 AM Pacific Standard Time. The LORAAS obtained limb scans every 90 seconds providing soundings spaced by approximately 5.4{°} of latitude. We compare the LORAAS-derived exospheric temperatures with the Mass Spectrometer and Incoherent Scatter (MSIS) predictions of the exospheric temperature.
