Batista, P.P., Takahashi, H., Clemesha, B.R. and Llewellyn, E.J. (1996). Mesospheric ozone concentration at an equatorial location from the 1.27-µ m O₂ airglow emission. Journal of Geophysical Research 101: doi: 10.1029/95JA03569. issn: 0148-0227.

The vertical emission profile of the O2(a1Δg) airglow at 1.27 &mgr;m has been measured during the evening twilight near the equator (Alcaˆntara, Brazil; 2.5 ¿S, 44.2 ¿W) using a rocket-borne infrared photometer. The profile is used to derive the vertical distribution of ozone between 60 and 86 km. The ozone profile shows a minimum concentration at 77 km and a secondary maximum of 1.34¿108 cm-3 at 82 km. The height of the secondary maximum is lower than observed at midlatitudes, and the 77-km minimum is sharper than that which has been observed at low latitudes by satellite measurements. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1996
