Scientific paper

The near-midnight latitudinal (±45) distribution of the O I 911-Å, 1304-Å, and 1356-Å emissions, observed by the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrometer on the STP 78-1 satellite, have been analyzed and compared as a function of geomagnetic activity. The dominant source of these emissions is radiative recombination of atomic oxygen ions; however, for geomagnetically disturbed periods, excess O I 1304-Å and 1356-Å emission is observed within ±5° of the dip equator. Neutral particle precipitation from the ring current is discussed as a possible source of the excess O I 1304-Å and 1356-Å emission.
