Results of high-resolution measurements of the geocoronal hydrogen Balmer alpha line profile made during several nights in December 1971, May 1972, and October 1972 are presented. The measured intensities are found to be in general agreement with the theory and earlier measurements under essentially similar conditions, and the measured geocoronal hydrogen temperatures are found to be somewhat lower than the Jacchia (1971) model exospheric values.
