DTIC ADA057478: Airglow Calculations for Remote Sensing

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

An instrument to remotely determine neutral density profiles in the lower thermosphere has been developed. The instrument observes ultraviolet airglow profiles in two bands: the 3371 A band for nitrogen and the 1356 A band for atomic oxygen to infer atmospheric density. Calculations of the intensities of these emissions have been made using the recent computations of energy dependent photoelectron fluxes and experimental determinations of the excitation cross section
