摘要
A variation in the IO 6300 Å nightglow emission intensity at Saskatoon (60.5°N magnetic latitude) has been found to follow the changes in the solar depression angle at the magnetic conjugate region. Observations made with a multichannel Fabry-Perot spectrometer during January-March, 1967 are described and discussed. An enhancement of about 100 Rayleighs (R) was observed, corresponding to a conjugate solar depression angle change of 12°. This enhancement is at least as large as that observed at lower latitudes, implying that electron energy losses along the longer field lines are not significant. © 1969.
