Airglow

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1971
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 ...

Space-Based Limb-Imaging Spectrometer for Atmospheric O₂ Airglow Detection

Atmosphere
This paper presents a space-based limb-imaging spectrometer (LIS) for detecting atmospheric O2 airglow; it scans the atmosphere with a vertical range of 10–100 km and has a vertical resolution of 2 km. The LIS’s detection performance needs to be examined

Scientific goals of optical instruments of the National Heliogeophysical Complex

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020
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.

Variability of the Brunt–Väisälä frequency at the OH^∗-airglow layer height at low and midlatitudes [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2020
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 ...

The Daily Atmospheric Ionospheric Limb Imager (DAILI) CubeSat Experiment

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Daily Atmospheric Ionospheric Limb Imager (DAILI) (Daily Atmospheric and Ionospheric Limb Imager) mission utilized a 6U CubeSat, deployed at about 410 km altitude in a 51‐degree orbit, to make simultaneous daytime limb measurements in two colors; at 630 nm to measure the OI (630 nm) redline and at 765 nm to measure the O2 ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$

The Impacts of Tropospheric Gravity Wave‐Generated MSTIDs on Skywaves at Mid‐latitude North American Sector Observed and Modeled Using SuperDARN HF Radars

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Trans‐ionospheric high frequency (HF: 3–30 MHz) response to atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) is studied in the middle‐latitude ionosphere in relation to thunderstorm activity. SuperDARN HF radar observations are compared against the model simulations to quantify the impact of GW‐generated medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTID ...

PALACE v1.0: Paranal Airglow Line And Continuum Emission model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Below about 2.3 µm, the nighttime emission of the Earth's atmosphere is dominated by non-thermal radiation. Excluding aurorae, the emission is caused by chemical reaction chains that are driven by the daytime photolysis and photoionisation of ...

Airglow and Aurorae at Dome A, Antarctica [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2012
Despite the absence of artificial light pollution at Antarctic plateau sites such as Dome A, other factors such as airglow, aurorae, and extended periods of twilight have the potential to adversely affect optical observations. We present a statistical analysis of the airglow and aurorae at Dome A using spectroscopic data from Nigel, an optical/near-IR ...

Validation of Global Ionospheric Specification (GIS) Electron Density Measurements During Solar Minimum to Solar Maximum Under Quiet and Disturbed Geomagnetic Conditions

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Global Ionospheric Specification (GIS) three‐dimensional electron density profiles constructed by assimilating the line‐of‐sight total electron content (TEC) from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) measurements by FORMOSAT‐7/COSMIC‐2 (F7/C2) and ground‐based receiver network from international GNSS service ...

Quasi 6‐Day Wave Variability in the Thermosphere and Ionosphere: Observations and Modeling

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Satellite observations of the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere from TIMED‐SABER and ICON‐MIGHTI reveal a clear Quasi 6‐Day Wave (Q6DW) event in the winds and temperatures in this region. This Q6DW event persists across multiple data sets throughout the middle‐to‐upper thermosphere and the F‐region ionosphere, including GOLD disk ...
