Temperatures of the equatorial thermosphere were obtained from rocket-released vapor clouds during geomagnetic quiet and just (less than 2 h) after a sudden commencement. The results reveal larger temperatures (over 400-500 K) than that expected by the Jacchia (1977) model during disturbed periods, while the quitel-day measurements agree well with the model predictions. The possible sources of energy that account for the excess temperatures are discussed.
