RESEARCH DIRECTED TOWARD THE STUDY BY AIRBORNE AND GROUND OBSERVATIONS OF AURORA AND AIRGLOW EMISSIONS UTILIZING PHOTOMETERS AND SPECTROMETERS.

Abstract

A description of the work accomplished under this contract is presented. This effort involved studies related to night airglow latitude dependence, South Atlantic Anomaly, the Grainger-Ring effect and the oxygen line behavior studied with Fabry-Perot interferometers. The results are reported and discussed. Modification of the aurora and airglow laboratory on the AFCRL (KC-135-3131) Ionospheric Physics aircraft is also described. (Author)
