Zusammenfassung |
More than 3 years of airglow observations with a
Spectral Airglow Temperature Imager
(SATI)
installed
at the Sierra Nevada
Observatory (37.06°N, 3.38°W) at 2900m height
have been analyzed.
Values of the column emission rate and vertically
averaged temperature of the O2 atmospheric (0–1) band and of the OH Meinel (6–2) band
from 1998 to 2002 have been presented.
From these observations a clear seasonal variation of both
emission rates and
rotational temperatures is inferred
at this latitude.
It is found that the annual variation of the temperatures is larger
than the semi-annual variation, while for the emission rates the
amplitudes are comparable.
Key words. Atmospheric composition and structure (airglow
and aurora; pressure density and temperature; instruments
and techniques) |
