Scientific paper

Measurements of the auroral atomic oxygen (3P-1D) emission line at 6300 Å made by the Atmosphere Explorer visible airglow experiment are analyzed using a tomographic inversion. Emission altitude profiles are compared to the results from an electron transport and chemical reaction model. The model incorporates measurements of the energetic electron flux, neutral composition, ion composition, and electron density. Reasonable correspondence is obtained using primarily the "classical" sources of O(1D) excitation: electron impact on atomic oxygen and dissociative recombination of O2+.
