The past 4 years have seen the continuation of considerable activity in airglow research. Patterns of changing emphasis are becoming clear, observations are tending to become more selective, and changes in technique have led to regular observations of dayglow, line widths in the nightglow, and observations in the middle and far ultraviolet, detection ...

Daily Variability in the Terrestrial UV Airglow
New capability for observing conditions in the upper atmosphere comes with the implementation of global ultraviolet (UV) imaging from geosynchronous orbit. Observed by the NASA GOLD mission, the emissions of atomic oxygen (OI) and molecular nitrogen (N2)

Scientific goals of optical instruments of the National Heliogeophysical Complex
Studies of the upper atmosphere have to be performed using optical photometric and spectrometric means. Modern devices allow precise photometry of the glow of the night atmosphere — airglow — with high temporal spatial and spectral resolution.

Simplified Relations for the Martian Night-Time OH* Suitable for the Interpretation of Observations
Observations of excited hydroxyl (OH*) emissions are broadly used for inferring information about atmospheric dynamics and composition. We present several analytical approximations for characterizing the excited hydroxyl layer in the Martian atmosphere ...

Application of tomographic inversion in studying airglow in the mesopause region [PDF]
It is pointed out that observations of periodic nightglow structures give excellent information on atmospheric gravity waves in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere.

Abstract Metastable helium (He∗ ${\text{He}}^{\ast }$) in the thermosphere emits at 1,083 nm and provides a powerful diagnostic of thermospheric composition, solar radiation, and transport. Its detection remains challenging because of its extremely low density and high‐altitude.

Abstract The upper thermosphere is important in the context of space weather, but continuous monitoring of the thermosphere at high latitudes remains limited despite its strong variations associated with geomagnetic activity. Orthohelium, He(23S), is found from the upper thermosphere to lower exosphere, and is a promising tracer of atmospheric dynamics.

Variability of the Brunt–Väisälä frequency at the OH∗-airglow layer height at low and midlatitudes [PDF]
Airglow spectrometers, as they are operated within the Network for the Detection of Mesospheric Change (NDMC; https://ndmc.dlr.de, last access: 1 November 2020), for example, allow the derivation of rotational temperatures which are equivalent to the ...
