Scientific paper

A large data base obtained from NASA Convair auroral expeditions is used to illustrate the variability in 6300A/4278A and 5577A/4278A ratios in auroras. The variation is well bounded by theoretical curves for characteristic spectral energies between 0.3 and 10 keV, which are typical for auroral precipitation. Coordinated measurements with the OV1-18 satellite show good agreement between the parameters of the precipitating-proton and electron-energy spectra derived from photometric measurements and those measured directly.
