Abstract:	Thermal and non-thermal $O (^{1} D)$ number density profiles are calculated. The two populations are assumed to be coupled by a thermalization cross-section which determines the loss and production in the non-thermal and thermal populations, respectively. The sources, sinks and transport of the two populations are used to model volume emission rate profiles at 6300 Å. The 6300 Å brightness measured by the Visible Airglow Experiment is then used to establish the presence of the non-thermal population and to determine the thermalization cross-section.
