Model for generating global images of emission from the thermosphere.

摘要: A general model is presented for the production of images thermospheric dayglow emissions. Ultraviolet are generated that relevant to remote sensing principal constituents thermosphere (O and N2) ionosphere (O+). The emission features considered here 1356-A (O), Lyman–Birge–Hopfield bands N2 between 1650 1715 A, 834 MSIS-86 International Reference Ionosphere models were used as climatological representations distributions neutrals ions, respectively. We describe generation beginning with volume-emission-rate profiles. detailed description generalized image-generation technique given. This permits us change observer’s altitude viewing geometry without incurring a large computational burden. produced by this demonstrate potential airglow imaging systems global variability in composition.
