| Description | Ground and airborne hydroxyl emission observations were made in the northern polar regions. The ground observations were made at Ester Dome, Alaska, and the airborne observations were made during the 1969 NASA Airborne Expedition. The analysis of some of the data that were acquired has lead to the following conclusions: (1) Airglow OH measurements show no appreciable change with latitude or longitude. (2) Diurnal changes at northern latitudes are similar to those observed in midlatitude regions. (3) Two types of OH enhancements were observed photometrically in the 9370 A region - one associated with visible aurora, and the other uncorrelated with visible aurora. High resolution spectra under both inactive and active conditions indicate that the OH enhancements seen photometrically in active aurorae are probably due to contamination of the filter pass bands by the unexpected enhancement of the NI multiplet lines at 9387 A and 9393 A. All previously reported aurorally associated enhancements are consequently suspect. |
