Catalog of High Resolution Infrared Spectra: Field-Widened Interferometer Payload: Sergeant A30.276 - Launched 13 April, 1983

Abstract

A Sergeant Rocket (A30.276), instrumented with a cryogenically- cooled, Michelson IR Interferometer was launched 13 April 1983 from the Poker Flat, Alaska Research Range. The purpose of the flight was to measure IR emission spectra in the 2 - 7.5 micro region. The flight was extremely successful and provided first resolved spectra of carbon monoxide (CO) near 4.7 micro m and of ionized nitric oxide (NO+) near 4.3 micro m. Further, the data from this flight provided the first high resolution spectra of atmospheric emitters as a function of altitude. These data include hydroxyl (OH) near 2.8 micro m, carbon dioxide (CO2) near 4.3 micro m, and nitric oxide (NO) near 5.4 micro m. This report catalogs the spectra obtained during the flight and presents it with high resolution. Keywords: High resolution, Atmospheric emission, Infrared spectra.
