The near-midnight latitudinal (¿45) distribution of the O I 911-¿, 1304-¿ emissions, observed by the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrometer on the STP 78-1 satellite, have been analyzed and compared as a function of geomagnetic activity. The dominant source of these emissions is radiative recombination of atomic oxygen ions: however, for geomagnetically disturbed periods, excess O I 1304-¿ and 1356-¿ emission is observed within ¿5¿ of the dip equator. Neutral particle precipitation from the ring current is discussed as a possible source of excess O I 1304-¿ and 1356-¿ emission.
