Abstract Atomic oxygen concentrations derived from the nightglow components of O 2(b 1 Σ g + − X 3 Σ g ) (0-0) Atmospheric Band emission profiles obtained during two rocket-borne photometer measurements of aurora are presented. The peak atomic oxygen concentrations of 2–3 × 1011 cm−3 are in better agreement with those of the MSIS-83 model than the CIRA 1972 mean reference atmosphere, although the shapes of the two derived profiles differ considerably from that of MSIS-83. The derived concentrations do not contradict the suggestion made by some investigators that the atomic oxygen concentrations in the auroral zone are depleted relative to their mid-latitude values.
