Meriwether, J.W., Atreya, S.K., Donahue, T.M. and Burnside, R.G. (1980). Measurements of the spectral profile of balmer alpha emission from the hydrogen geocorona. Geophysical Research Letters 7: doi: 10.1029/GL007i011p00967. issn: 0094-8276.

Instrumental improvements responsible for a factor of 25 increase in the sensitivity of the Fabry-Perot interferometer enable us to observe for the first time the short wavelength depletion of the Balmer &agr; spectral profile due to hydrogen escape. These results are shown to be consistent with the implications of OGO-5 observations by Bertaux.
