Abstract

There is evidence for a morning–evening asymmetry for the 1.27 µ O2 band in twilight, and the evening decay appears slower at high latitude. No appreciable variation in the dayglow intensity has been observed with latitude ; the decreased dayglow intensity during an eclipse seems consistent with the theory involving production of O2(1 Δg) by photodissociation of ozone.
