<abstract xmlns="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0">We studied the inter-annual distributions of the nightglow intensities&#13;
of the thermosphere atomic oxygen red 630.0 nm and green&#13;
557.7 nm lines observed from Abastumani during cloudless nights, the&#13;
planetary geomagnetic Ap index, solar F10.7, and galactic cosmic rays&#13;
(GCRs) flux. It is demonstrated that: on magnetically weakly disturbed/&#13;
quiet conditions (Ap &lt; 12) in equinoctial months the red line intensities&#13;
are minimal, while those of the green line are maximal; the red line intensity&#13;
increases in May–July and is comparatively low in June, where,&#13;
unlike most mid-latitude regions, the green line intensity is maximal. The&#13;
red and green line intensities increase with growing solar activity but&#13;
their behaviors stay the same, which is considered as a possible regional&#13;
manifestation of lower and upper atmosphere vertical coupling. It was&#13;
also detected that, for cloudless nights in June, the number of magnetically&#13;
disturbed day-nights is maximal and the decrease of the GCRs flux&#13;
is the biggest during a year.</abstract>
