“…Observations have been reported and discussed by Donahue and Meier [1967], Gadsden [19696], Gadsden and Purdy [1970], Hunten and Godson [1967a], and Hunten and Wallace [1967]. Kvifte and Wallace [1970] have published the results of calculations of the radiative transfer of this resonance doublet. The implications of the observational data on theories of atmospheric composition, transport, and dust have also been discussed by Allen [1970], Donahue [19676], Gadsden [1968Gadsden [ , 1970, Geisler and Dickinson [1967], Hanson and Donaldson [1967], and Hunter, and Godson [19676].…”

The past 4 years have seen the continuation of considerable activity in airglow research. Patterns of changing emphasis are becoming clear, observations are tending to become more selective, and changes in technique have led to regular observations of dayglow, line widths in the nightglow, and observations in the middle and far ultraviolet, detection and measurement of extremely faint emission lines, and the extension of the observed region well into the infrared.

“…A rigorous deduction of the concentration of sodium atoms from the intensity of the D lines i s complicated, but Kvifte and Wallace (1970) have given simple analytical formulae for computing the amount of sodium in both the twilight and the daytime sky from one set of observations of the D, and D, line intensities in twilight. Their treatment, though approximate, is well within the limits set by the accuracy of the observations.…”
