WINDII data provide the first comprehensive observations of the O(1D) emission rate (the red line) at altitudes of 100-280 km in both latitude and local time domains. Data from three December solstice seasons (1991/92, 1992/93, and 1994/95) show that the O(1D) airglow emission rate strongly depends on the solar radiation as a function of the solar zenith angle, which is related to the local time and latitudinal variations, and a function of the F10.7cm solar flux, which is related to the solar cycle. Dynamic effect, including tides and planetary waves, on the airglow emission rate is also observed. WINDII O(1D) data are compared to simulations by the airglow model, GLOW, showing satisfactory agreement. The simulations can be improved by using measured plasma data instead of the IRI model data.
