Abstract
The work is devoted to the comparison of the night airglow intensity of atomic oxygen in the mesopause region, obtained by satellite and ground-based methods. Satellite data used in this work were obtained using a SABER limb radiometer operating on the TIMED platform, ground monitoring data were obtained using a Fabry-Perot KEO Scientific “Arinae” interferometer, adapted for aeronomic research. The profile of the natural green glow intensity of the upper atmosphere is calculated on the basis of the profile of the atomic oxygen concentration. The chemical composition and air temperature data, at mesopause region, obtained by the SABER are used to calculate the profiles. The nighttime emission intensity of 557.7 nm, obtained in this way from satellite data, is in good agreement with the results of ground-based observations.
