Scientific paper

A comparative study is carried out between a semiempirical low-latitude ionospheric model (SLIM), including calculated OI 630 nm airglow emission intensities predicted by the SLIM model, with ionospheric and OI 630 nm airglow measurements carried out at Cachoeira Paulista (22.7 deg S, 45.0 deg W; geomag. 11.9 deg S), Brazil. A long series of regular measurements of ionospheric F-region peak electron densities and peak heights, and regular zenith measurements of the OI 630 nm airglow emission intensities, made during the period 1975-1982, are used for comparison with corresponding parameters predicted by the SLIM model. Large discrepancies between the observed and model-predicted OI 630 nm intensities have been found for high solar activity, mainly due to an overestimate of the F-region peak heights by the SLIM model.
