Two rocket observations of the OI lambda 557.7 nm nightglow emission in the lower thermosphere have been carried out from the equatorial region at Natal, one on 9 December 1985 and the other on 31 October 1986. The volume emission rate obtained from these observations showed a maximum at a height of 97 +/- 1 km with a half-width of 6 km for the first experiment and 98 +/- 1 km with a half-width of 7 km for the second experiment. The observed emission profiles showed large variability, suggesting dynamical control of the atomic oxygen. The atomic oxygen density profiles deduced from the present data are compared with atmospheric models and currently available experimental data.
