Ultraviolet emissions from Earth's aurora were observed at wavelengths between 1675 and 2075 Å by a sounding rocket payload launched at Churchill, Canada, on March 28, 1980. The emissions from the Lyman-Birge-Hopfield and Vegard-Kaplan bands of N2 were observed and analyzed to determine the relative populations of the υ' = 0-6 levels of the a1πg state and the υ' = 4, 6, 7, and 8 levels of the A3Σg+ state, respectively. The relative population of higher vibrational levels of the A3Σg+ state are consistent with direct excitation and cascade. The relative populations of the vibrational levels of the a1πg state peak at υ' = 2. Such a distribution has not been observed previously in the aurora.
