Several examples are presented to illustrate the behavior of the 989- to 7990-A complex. For the most part, these are chosen to correspond to particular observations of the airglow and aurora. In particular, the 989-A dayglow is computed for comparison with the data of Gentieu et al. (1979). In addition, line ratios are provided for comparison with the high-resolution data reported by Christensen et al. (1982). Several examples of auroral phenomena, including expected emissions from the dayside cleft region, are adduced, and the implications of high-resolution observations of line ratios and selective absorption by N2 are addressed. Finally, the utility of 989- to 7990-A multiplets as diagnostics of the atmospheric O I abundance is studied.
