Scientific paper

Two-channel scanning photometer data obtained at the Noril'sk station at O I 6300 A and N2(+) 4278 A are used to study the weathercock effect in the polar upper ionosphere. An analysis for metastable atoms shows that the magnitude of the effect depends on three parameters: (1) the metastable-state lifetime; (2) the velocity of the atoms relative to the excitation source; and (3) the geometric dimensions of the region of metastable-state excitation.
