Scientific paper

Contributions of the Visible Airglow Experiment (VAE) to the understanding of various airglow and auroral processes are reviewed. The impact of instrumental design and operation on the observations is discussed, and emphasis is placed on the relationship between observations and inversion for optical measurements of light emissions from a diffuse medium. VAE data are used to explain the physical mechanisms responsible for the production and destruction of excited species including O(+)(1P), O(1D), O(1S), N(2D), and Mg(+)2P1/2.
