Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet spectroscopy and remote sensing of the upper atmosphere
TL;DR: A review of the field of airglow analysis can be found in this article, where the basic processes leading to excitation of atomic and molecular energy states are discussed and the current status of knowledge of individual emission features seen in the air glow is examined for the purpose of selecting those species most useful as diagnostics of the state of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dependence of auroral middle UV emissions on the incident electron spectrum and neutral atmosphere
R. E. Daniell,D. J. Strickland +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between three important middle UV auroral emissions, the electron energy spectrum, and the neutral atmosphere was examined, and calculated emission rates for the Vegard-Kaplan and second positive band systems of N2 and the O I (¹S → ³P) 2972 A line.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron impact excitation of atomic oxygen: Revised cross sections
Edward C. Zipf,P. W. Erdman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the cross-section values for the excitation of three O I resonance transitions at 1304, 1027, and 989 A, by electron impact on atomic oxygen are presented from threshold to 300 eV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation field in the troposphere and stratosphere from 240–1000 NM-I. General analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for rapid calculation of multiply-scattered solar induced radiation field in the troposphere and stratosphere is presented, which is described in sufficient detail so that the mathematical model can be incorporated in a straightforward manner into photochemical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
UV resonance line dayglow emissions on Earth and Jupiter
TL;DR: In this paper, the similarities and differences for some emissions of importance in the atmospheres of Earth and Jupiter are examined for both a conservative resonance line and a line for which there is a considerable branching ratio are considered.

Imprisonment of Resonance Radiation in Gases
TL;DR: In this article, a Boltzmann-type integro-differential equation involving the probability that a quantum traverses a layer of gas of thickness, without being absorbed, is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-Coherent Scattering: I. The Redistribution Function with Doppler Broadening
TL;DR: In this paper, the redistribution in frequency of radiation scattered from moving atoms is examined in some generality, allowing for the different types of scattering that occur in the atom's rest frame under different circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric composition in the lower thermosphere.
TL;DR: Atomic-to-molecular oxygen concentrations ratio values in upper atmosphere used to determine strength of turbulent mixing in atmosphere, noting definition of turbopause height as mentioned in this paper, which is defined as the height at which the turbopsause threshold is reached.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extreme ultraviolet spectrum of the sun
TL;DR: In this article, the state of knowledge of the spectrum of the sun from 3000 A to 170 A is reviewed and the characteristics of different photographic and photoelectric spectroscopic instruments and the results are summarized and compared.

Photoionization and Absorption Cross Sections of O2 and N2 in the 600‐ to 1000‐Å Region
G. R. Cook,P. H. Metzger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the absolute photoionization and absorption cross sections of O2 and N2 have been measured in the 600 to 1000 A region using a 1m Seya-Namioka scanning vacuum ultraviolet monochromator with a resolution of 0.5 A in the first order and the Hopfield continuum background light source.
