Measurement of a structured profile of atomic oxygen in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere is presented. A rocket-borne OI 1304-A resonance-scattering system provided data over the 75-126 km altitude range on ascent and descent, with oxygen profiles showing considerable structure, and more structure evident on ascent than descent. Ground-based photometric measurements of the /OI/5577-A airglow at the time of the flight agree with the /O/ measurements to within 50% when interpreted in the framework of the Chapman (1931) or Barth (1961) mechanisms. It is suggested that wind shears provide the best possibility for explaining the double-peaked concentration profiles.
