摘要: Zeeman splitting of O2 molecular states in the Earth's upper atmosphere leads to polarized emission spectra. A 61 GHz radiometer operated as part Millimeter-wave Atmospheric Sounder (MAS), a core payload instrument NASA Space Shuttle ATLAS missions, observed such emissions. This instrument's high resolution spectrometer (200 kHz) allows us verify for first time effect model calculations some detail. The results suggest interesting new aspects research atmosphere.
