Statistics and variability of the altitude of elves

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
From June 2008 to January 2016 nearly 800 elves have been recorded by a low‐light camera in northeastern Spain. Elves occur in this region mainly over the lower topped cold air mass maritime thunderstorms, peaking from November to January.

A rocket-borne airglow photometer [PDF]

, 1977
The design of a rocket-borne photometer to measure the airglow emission of ionized molecular nitrogen in the 391.4 nm band is presented. This airglow is a well known and often observed phenomenon of auroras, where the principal source of ionization is ...

OH airglow imaging observations of a mesoscale gravity wave generated by jet streams near the Tibetan Plateau region

Earth and Planetary Physics
In this study, we investigate the source and dynamics of a mesoscale gravity wave (MGW) observed over northern China. On January 12, 2010, an OH airglow imager at the Xinglong station (40.2°N, 117.4°E) detected an MGW propagating from southwest to ...

First observation of the Venus UV dayglow at limb from SPICAV/VEX

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
We present the first limb observations of the dayglow emissions by the UV channel of SPICAV aboard Venus Express between October and December 2011. The CO Cameron bands between 180–260 nm and CO2+ doublet at 289 nm are clearly identified for the first ...

Satellite airglow limb tomography: Methods for recovering structured emission rates in the mesospheric airglow layer

, 1993
In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using satellite airglow limb tomography to study spatial structures in the airglow emissions of the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere.

Impact of lower atmospheric scattering on ground-based optical thermospheric wind observations with spatially uneven airglow [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Scattered airglow emissions in the lower atmosphere can bias ground-based interferometer observations of thermospheric winds, particularly when airglow brightness becomes spatially uneven due to auroras. During two geomagnetic storms with visible auroras

OMTI Airglow Temperature Photometer (ATP) at Kototabang, Indonesia

, 2014
Optical Mesosphere Thermosphere Imagers (OMTIs) Airglow Temperature Photometer (ATP) Data. The ATP measures airglow rotational temperature and airglow intensity in the mesopause region at 80-100km altitudes through the OH and O2 airglow emission lines.
