Title: Behavior of zenith [O I] 6300 A airglow at Townsville during high-altitude nuclear explosions
Abstract: Early reports of the high-altitude nuclear explosion over Johnston Island (169.5°W, 16.7°N) on July 9, 1962, show that the [O I] 6300 A airglow emission increased at places remote from the explosion. Odencrantz et al. [1962] observed an increase of the order of 10 rayleighs at China Lake, California (117.6°W, 35.7°N). F. E. Roach (private communication, 1962) has suggested that much higher increases of the order of hundreds of rayleighs might be expected in the magnetic conjugate region to Johnston Island. This prediction met with spectacular confirmation from New Zealand.
