Scientific paper

Ultraviolet measurements of the (1, 0) gamma band of nitric oxide in fluorescence by a satellite at high latitudes show nitric oxide concentrations which are highly variable in both time and space. The average nitric oxide concentration is 3 to 4 times higher at high latitudes than at midlatitudes. If auroral activity is responsible for the larger nitric oxide densities and if the reaction N(2D) + O2 is the source of NO, then auroral processes must be more efficient in the production of N(2D) atoms than dayglow processes.
