IQSY NIGHT AIRGLOW DATA

I. Introduction. World Data Center A, in Boulder, has received
photometric data of the night airglow during the IQSY from 19

stations (Table 1) covering 25 lunations (Table 2). The data

consist of (a) hourly zenith intensities of [OI] 5577A, NaI

5890-96A, and [OI] 6300A for most stations plus sporadic observations

of the hydroxyl (0H) and Ny 3914A, and (b) hourly values of the

ratio of intensity (north/south) near or at zenith distance 75°.

Table 3 is a summary of the data received from each station by giving

the IQSY numbered lunations in Table 2 for the periods data were received.

A preliminary interpretation of this data (Night Airglow
Observations During the IQSY by F. E. Roach, L. L. Smith and J. R. McKennan)
is included in the IQSY Annals. This report is a compilation of the
TQSY night airglow data.

II. Data. The hourly values reported to the Data Center were recorded
on punched cards. Table 4 is the tabulation of this data including

the mean and the standard deviation of the mean for each night and

for each lunation. The tabulation of the data in Table 4 is as follows:

2. Ratios

The data from each station are tabulated in the numbered order given in Table 1.
