The first Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) sensor was launched on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F16 spacecraft in October of 2003 into a sun-synchronous 830 km circular orbit at a local time of 0800-2000 UT. The SSULI sensor has a field-of-view of 2.4°x0.15° and sweeps out a 2.4°x17° field-of-regard during each 90 second scan, with wavelength coverage between 800Å and 1700Å at 23Å resolution. The field of view scans ahead of the spacecraft in the orbital plane through a 17° field of regard, corresponding to approximately 75-750 km altitude. This paper will focus on the dayglow emission profiles of N+ 1085Å, generated by photo-dissociative ionization of N2. The SSULI 1085Å emission profiles will be compared with output from the Atmospheric Ultraviolet Radiance Integrated Code (AURIC) model spectral radiances. The period of interest for this study is the month of January, 2004.
