Abstract:	Simultaneous measurements of the 6300 Å airglow intensity, the electron density profile, and F-region ion temperatures and vertical ion velocities taken at the Arecibo Observatory in March 1971 are utilized in the height integrated continuity equation to extract the number of photons'of 6300 Å emitted per recombination. After accounting for quenching of $O (^{1} D)$ and the electrons lost via NO⁺ recombination, the efficiency of $O (^{1} D)$ production by the dissociative recombination of O₂⁺ is determined to be 0.6 ± 0.2 including cascading from the $O (^{1} S)$ state. The uncertainty includes both random measurement errors and estimates of possible systematic errors.
