Observation of emissions of upper atmosphere is an effective method of researching its physical and
chemical properties. Airglow intensities variations are a sensitive indicator of disturbances in the
middle and upper atmosphere. The atomic oxygen [OI] green line is the brightest discrete emission in the visible spectral range in
night airglow of the mid-latitude upper atmosphere; it appears at heights of 85−115 km with the peak at
about 96 km.

In the period under analysis some significant manifestations of stratospheric warming in 557.7 nm emission variations are possible to
allocate:
1) Intensive local warming in late January–February, 1998, when localization of warming was practically in the place of registration of 557.7 nm emission (53°N, 108°E), where the temperature reached ~250 K. Maximal temperature 267 K was registered in early February in the site with coordinates 74°N, 92°Е. Daily 557.7 nm nightglow intensity grew more than by 100%, temperature growth was about 17 K. On February, 1 the maximal magnitude of intensity was registered, the intensity reached 1500 R; the time shift made about 4 days concerning temperature growth.

2) Warming in January, 2000, above Siberia –
Mongolia – Manchuria which prolonged up to the
early February. Maximal temperature reached
~260 K, it was registered in the center with
coordinates 73°N, 120°E. Strong increase of
557.7 nm emission intensity was observed from
January, 17, the intensity being abnormally high
till January, 22. The highest magnitude of 557.7
nm nightglow intensity exceeding 2000 R was
registered on January, 20.

3) Warming above Asia in the upper stratosphere in early December, 2000. The numerous centers of warm located near the observation place, the maximal temperature reaching ~270 K was registered in the center with coordinates 65°N, 93°Е. The daily mean 557.7 nm nightglow intensity increased by 2.5 times for 4 days, the maximal registered intensity magnitude run up to ~650 R.

4) Warming in mid December 2001 through January 2002 over Siberia, when the temperature at the 10 hPa level grew more than by 30 K. From December, 17 a very strong increase of 557.7 nm emission intensity had been observed. Daily mean 557.7 nm nightglow intensity grew within 2 days from ~500 R up to ~1600 R, the maximal night intensity going up from ~900 R to ~2200 R (on December, 22).

ConclusionsOn the basis of the experimental data obtained at the ISTP SB RAS Geophysical observatory (52°N, 103°E) in 1997-2006, some abnormal increases of 557.7 nm airglow intensity caused by stratospheric warming were determined. 557.7 nm airglow variations caused by stratospheric warming are comparable by magnitude with the variations caused by seasonal variation of this emission, and sometimes exceed them essentially.

The 557.7 nm airglow arises as a result of 1S1D forbidden transition of atomic
oxygen.The Barth mechanism is now generally accepted as being responsible for the
production of О(1S) :О(3Р) + О(3Р) + М О2* + М,
О2*+ О(3Р) О2*+ О(1S) The rate of the three-body reaction should have a negative temperature coefficient of
about (300/Т)2, and quenching should increase with temperature.
