TL;DR: In this paper, a grating optical spectrograph and infrared imager system (OSIRIS) on board the Odin spacecraft is designed to retrieve altitude profiles of terrestrial atmospheric minor species by observing limb-radiance profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
ETON 2: Quenching parameters for the proposed precursors of O2(b1Σg+) and O(1S) in the terrestrial nightglow
Ian C. McDade,Donal P. Murtagh,R.G.H. Greer,P.H.G. Dickinson,Georg Witt,Jacek Stegman,E. J. Llewellyn,L. Thomas,D.B. Jenkins +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the volume emission profiles of the O 2 (b 1 Σ g + − X 3 Σg t - )( O - O ) Atmospheric Band and the O( 1 S- 1 D) green line to test the hypothesis that both emissions are excited by Barth type mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
ETON 1: A data base pertinent to the study of energy transfer in the oxygen nightglow
R.G.H. Greer,Donal P. Murtagh,Ian C. McDade,P. H. G. Dickinson,L. Thomas,D.B. Jenkins,Jacek Stegman,Edward J. Llewellyn,Georg Witt,D. J. Mackinnon,E. R. Williams +10 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive group of experiments, assembled and flown on a series of Petrel rockets in March 1982 for the primary purpose of investigating the extent to which energy transfer is important in the excitation of the oxygen nightglow, is briefly described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polar vortex evolution during the 2002 Antarctic major warming as observed by the Odin satellite

TL;DR: In this paper, the Reactive Processes Ruling the Ozone Budget in the Stratosphere (REPROBUS) chemical transport model at and above 500 K isentropic surfaces (heights above 18 km) reveal that on 19-20 September the Antarctic vortex was dynamically stable and chemically nominal: denitrified, with a nearly complete chlorine activation, and a 70% O3 loss at 500 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of proposed O(1S) and O2(b1Σg+) nightglow excitation parameters
Donal P. Murtagh,Georg Witt,Jacek Stegman,Ian C. McDade,E. J. Llewellyn,F. R. Harris,R.G.H. Greer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a database consisting of a number of simultaneously measured O( 1 D- 1 S) green line and O 2 ( b 1 Σ g + ) − X 3 Σg )(0, 0) atmospheric band nightglow emission profiles is examined to assess the general validity of the airglow excitation parameters recently proposed by McDade et al.
