| Zusammenfassung |
An auroral electron excitation model,
combined with simple equilibrium neutral and ion chemistry models, is used to
investigate the optical emission processes and height profiles of I(5577 Å) and
I(7620 Å) in the 90 to 100 km altitude region. It is shown that the apparent
discrepancies between ground-based and rocket-borne auroral observations of the
I(7620 Å)/I(5577 Å) ratio are due to the extreme height variation of this
intensity ratio in the 90 to 100 km region.
