Zhang, S.P. and Shepherd, G.G. (2004). Solar influence on the O(¹ D) dayglow emission rate: Global-scale measurements by WINDII on UARS. Geophysical Research Letters 31: doi: 10.1029/2004GL019447. issn: 0094-8276.

More than 130,000 emission rate profiles of the O(1D) dayglow (630 nm) were observed by WINDII during 1991--1995, which provide an unprecedented resource for studying the O(1D) layer, and related physics and chemistry in the thermosphere and ionosphere. This article describes the general properties of the O(1D) emission layer and an empirical model derived from WINDII measurements for the O(1D) emission rate as a function of the solar zenith angle and solar irradiance using the F10.7 cm flux as a proxy.
