We analyze significant increases in 630 nm atomic oxygen night emissions during very strong geomagnetic storms, using optical measurements, theoretical modeling, and magnetogram inversion technique (MIT) data. It is shown that during strong magnetic storms when electron precipitation equatorial boundary at the night sector expands up to ~40°, the interaction of energetic electron flux with thermospheric components may cause extreme increases in the 630 nm emission intensity. Model calculations of the red line intensity show good agreement with observational data. Using the November 20, 2003 magnetic storm as an example, we have found that oxygen atom collisions with thermal Maxwell and superthermal electrons make a major contribution to the integral emission intensity. Thermospheric density variations during the magnetic storm significantly affect the red line generation.

In this article, we intended to see whether we can obtain the same pole motion from two kinds of telescopes: the floating zenith telescope (PZT) and the ILS zenith telescope (VZT). The observations with the PZT have been pursued since 1967.0 with a star list whose star places are taken from the PK4 and its supplement. We revised the method of reduction of the observations with the PZT by adopting a variable scale value for the photographic plate (Takagi et al., 1974).
