Altitude profile of airglow hydroxyl emission
A rocket-borne cooled (S-1) filter photometer was flown from Resolute Bay, Northwest Territories 75° N during geomagnetically quiet conditions. The derived altitude profile of the (6–2) hydroxyl band emission shows a peak at 95 km. An airglow background of 2.7 R A −1 or less at 8380 A is reported fo...

Summary: | A rocket-borne cooled (S-1) filter photometer was flown from Resolute Bay, Northwest Territories 75° N during geomagnetically quiet conditions. The derived altitude profile of the (6–2) hydroxyl band emission shows a peak at 95 km. An airglow background of 2.7 R A −1 or less at 8380 A is reported for altitudes above 125 km. |
