Abstract: The latitude-longitude distribution and latitude-altitude distribution of airglow emission intensity during two strong magnetic storms of different durations in October and November 2003 were studied using OI 135.6 nm airglow emission data observed by the GUVI detector. The results show that the intensity of OI 135.6 nm airglow emission increases with the decrease of the Dst index during magnetic storms in most regions of the world, showing an approximate negative correlation with the Dst index. From the latitude, the enhancement spreads from near the magnetic equator to high latitudes during magnetic storms, and the latitudinal and longitudinal distributions show north-south and latitudinal asymmetries during magnetic storms; from the altitude, the enhancement spreads from near the F2 level of the ionosphere during magnetic storms to other altitudes, especially at the lower thermospheric altitudes at some latitudes where the enhancement is more significant than at other altitudes. The timing of the enhancement is largely synchronous with the phase of the magnetic storm.
