Anaysis of Field-Widened Interferometer Data by Least-Squares and Spectral Deconvolution Methods.

Abstract

Linear least-squares methods and the Jansson method of constrained nonlinear spectral deconvolution were used to analyze atomspheric emission spectra obtained in the Field-Widened Interferometer (FWI) experiment. The analysis provides estimates of line intensities and spectra of enhanced resolution. A conclusion of the study is that NO+ was not present in the auroral event observed by the FWI. Keywords: Interferometer data; Least-squares analysis; Spectral deconvolution; Infrared; atmospheric emission; Carbon dioxide; Nitrogen oxides.
