             abstract = "Anderson et al. (Radio Science, 22, 292- 306, 1987) have recently 
                         presented a semiempirical low -latitude ionospheric model (SLIM) 
                         along with calculated OI 6300 £airglow intensities using the SLIM 
                         profiles. Regular zenith measurements of the Cl 6300 £emission 
                         haveobeen carried out at Cachoeira Paulista (22.7 °S, 45.0°W; 
                         geomag. 11.9 S), Brasil, since 1975. Using the long series of 
                         measurements during the period 1975-1982, a comparative study 
                         between the 016300£ observations and the predictions of the SLIM 
                         model is presented and discussed in this paper. Also, a comparison 
                         between theF-regionpeak electron densities and peak heights 
                         observed at CachoeiraPaulistaand those predicted by the SLIM model 
                         is presented. Large discrepancies between the observed and model 
                         predicted OI 6300 {\'A}? intensities have been fbund for high 
                         solar activities, mainly due to an overestimate of the F-region 
                         peak heights by the SLIM model. The reasonsforthese hei ght 
                         discrepancies have been discussed in terms of the longitudinal 
                         dependence of the geomagnetic control on the E x B vertical plasma 
                         drifts and the thermospheric neutral wind effects on the 
                         F-region.",
