Deans, A.J., Shepherd, G.G. and Evans, W.F.J. (1976). A rocket measurement of the O₂(b¹S⁺_g- X³S^-_g) atmospheric band nightglow altitude distribution. Geophysical Research Letters 3: doi: 10.1029/GL003i008p00441. issn: 0094-8276.

A rocket measurement of the O2 (b1&Sgr;+g- X3&Sgr;-g) (O-O) atmospheric band altitude distribution in the nightglow has been made under high latitude winter conditions. An integrated intensity of 1.4kR was observed with a peak volume emission rate of 750 photons cm-3 sec-1 at 91 km. An atomic oxygen altitude distribution with a number density of 1.7¿1011 cm-3 at 100 km is derived.
