Airglow as an Indicator of Upper Atmospheric Structure and Dynamics / by Vladislav Yu. Khomich, Anatoly I. Semenov, Nicolay N. Shefov.

Springer eBooks

The Radiating Atmosphere and Space -- Processes Responsible for the Occurrence of the Airglow -- Techniques of Investigation of the Airglow -- Regular Variations of the Airglow in the Mesopause and Thermosphere -- Wave Processes in the Atmosphere -- Climatic Changes in the Upper Atmosphere -- Models of Vertical Profiles of Some Characteristics of the Upper Atmosphere.

The book summarizes international progress over the last few decades in upper atmosphere airglow research. Measurement methods, theoretical concepts and empirical models of a wide spectrum of upper atmospheric emissions and their variability are considered. The book contains a detailed bibliography of studies related to the upper atmosphere airglow and a lot of useful information on emission characteristics and its formation processes. The book is of interest to scientists working in the field of aeronomy, physics of the upper atmosphere of the Earth as well as the other planets, and also for experts interested in applied aspects of the Earth’s upper atmospheric emissions.
