Nitric oxide, ozone, and carbon dioxide measurements at 5.4, 9.6, and 15 microns in 70-185 km, 70-105 km, and 70-150 km altitude regions, respectively, obtained by two rocket-borne liquid helium-cooled IR spectrometers, are analyzed in the framework of the Energy Budget Campaign. The zenith radiance altitude profiles were acquired during the recovery phase of the last one of four auroral magnetic events. It is found that Joule heating of the upper atmosphere to the level of salvo B did not noticeably change the NO, O3, or CO2 radiances. Furthermore, a considerable difference was observed between the 15-micron CO2 radiance profiles over the spatial separation of the Andoya and the Esrange launch facilities (250 km).
