Scientific paper

Night airglow emissions near 6230A, as observed from the Ogo 4 spacecraft in 1967-8, show enhancements at polar latitudes by more than a factor of ten over mid and low latitude values. The enhancements are generally not symmetrical with either the north pole or the auroral oval. They are attributed in part to increases in the Meinel band emissions of OH, particularly as associated with a stratospheric warming event, and in part to increases in nitric oxide densities in the lower thermosphere.
