men tio n that at about 0650 U T the equatorward boundary of red luminosity separates the discrete forms moving polewards inside the region from the rayed arcs moving equatorwards at lower latitudes. Figure 8 presents the scaimograms showing the typical characteristics of the luminosity across- the auroral zone in various geophysical conditions. The 0605 an d 0640 UT scaimograms were obtained w h e n a broad region of diffuse luminosity wa s observed throughout the sky. The 557.7 run emission intensity increased monotonously fr o m the poleward boundary of the diffuse luminosity region to its equatorward boundary and was about 2 time as high as the 630.0 nm intensity at all zenith angles. The 0 7 1 5 * 0 7 2 0 and 0730 UT scaimograms were obtained wh e n the rayed arcs m oving polewards were observed at the station zenith, while the diffuse lu m i n osity w a s observed equatorwards fr o m the station. The comparison of the scaimograms shows that the r e d line intensity reaches its m aximum values polewards f r o m the station zenith. The green line intensity in the region remains at a sufficiently l o w and approximately constant level. The 557.7 n m emission intensity increases abruptly equatorwards fr o m the region of the highest re d luminosity intensity. Thus the regions of luminosity i n the red and green lines of atomic oxygen are distinctly separated in latitude, there by indicating that the precipitation regions of auroral electrons of diffi cult energies are also separated i n latitude. The right-hand side of Fig.8 presents the scannograms obtained from 0808 to 0812 UT. The 0810 UT acannogram shows an abrupt increase i n the 557.7 n m emission intensity. A c c ording to the photometric data, the intensif ication lasted for about 40 s. The analysis of the data has shown that the short-time enhancements of the 557,7 n m luminosity exhibit a recurrence from 4 to 11 min.
