An investigation of the flux of infrared radiation in the upper atmosphere by the 28th Meteor satellite
Abstract
The results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of infrared radiation in the upper atmosphere in the range 3-30 microns are presented. The experimental data were obtained by the 28th Meteor satellite, the measurements being made in 1977 and 1978. Two cases of an appreciable rise in infrared fluxes under auroral conditions are considered. It is shown that the increase in infrared radiation can be explained by the presence in the ionosphere at high latitudes of electric field parallelism.
