1974-1975年冬季期间，大气探测器D（AE-D）卫星上的紫外线一氧化氮分光仪实验利用分子1-0伽马波段的共振荧光测量了热层一氧化氮。几乎获得了完整的纬度覆盖，但观测仅限于当地时间上午接近0900。通过对该仪器测量的1-0 γ谱带强度剖面进行反演，得到了90 ~ 200 km范围内NO数密度的垂直剖面。通常，测得的NO浓度在100和110公里的高度之间达到最大值，在高纬度比低纬度观察到更多的NO，与以前的观测研究一致。NO廓线的形状也被发现是纬度的函数，在冬季半球的低纬度和中纬度，在130公里附近的廓线中出现了一个高原。
The ultraviolet nitric oxide spectrometer (UVNO) experiment on the Atmosphere Explorer D (AE-D) satellite measured thermospheric nitric oxide during the winter of 1974–1975 using resonant fluorescence from the 1–0 gamma band of the molecule. Almost complete latitude coverage was obtained, but the observations were confined to morning local times close to 0900. The 1–0 gamma band intensity profiles measured by the instrument were inverted to provide vertical profiles of the NO number density between about 90 and 200 km. Typically, the measured NO concentrations reached a maximum between altitudes of 100 and 110 km, and more NO was observed at higher latitudes than at low latitudes, in agreement with previous observational studies. The shape of the NO profile was also found to be a function of latitude, with a plateau appearing in the profile near 130 km for low latitudes and mid-latitudes in the winter hemisphere.
