Observations of the O2 Atmospheric Band Nightglow by the TIMED Doppler Interferometer
Abstract
Measurements of the O2 Atmospheric (0-0) band nightglow layer by the TIMED Doppler Interferometer (TIDI) during 2002 are presented. Because TIDI has four separate telescopes observing in orthogonal directions, good coverage of nightglow morphology in latitude and local time is obtained. The emission intensity and layer height are analyzed to investigate the influence of tidal variability on oxygen recombination.
