Analysis of ISAAC Dayglow and Nightglow Spectra: Implications for Nitric Oxide, Atomic Oxygen, and Excited States of O2

Abstract

The goals of this project are to advance our understanding of physical and chemical processes in the upper mesosphere and thermosphere involving nitric oxide, atomic oxygen and excited states of molecular oxygen. Improved knowledge of the upper atmosphere will be directly related to applications for diagnosing and forecasting space weather phenomena.
