STUDIES OF NIGHT AIRGLOW, RELATED MECHANISM AND OF ATMOSPHERIC ATOMS AND MOLECULES

Abstract

Research is to include measurement of absolute intensity and intensity distribution of night airglow, experimental study on reaction mechanism of aurora, night and day airglows and of other atmospheric reactions in the upper atmosphere, and spectroscopic or photon counter study of atmospheric atoms and molecules by the spectroscopic and photon counter technique. Diurnal and semi-diurnal variation were found in the infrared emission of the night airglow. TheABSOLUTE INTENSITY OF THE INFRARED EMISSION IN THE NIGHT AIRGLOW WAS DETERMINED. (Author)
