Download or read book LWIR 7 24 Micrometer Measurements from the Launch of a Rocketborne Spectrometer Into an Aurora 1973 written by James W. Rogers and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A liquid-helium-cooled, long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) spectrometer was successfully launched by the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory onboard a Black Brant VC rocket (A18.006-2) on 22 Mar 1973 from the University of Alaska's Poker Flat Research Range at Chatanika, Alaska. This flight was part of the Defense Nuclear Agency ICECAP 73 Program. The spectrometer, which employs a circular-variable filter (CVF), was developed by AFGL and Utah State University and has provided the first measurements of the altitude profile of the infrared spectrum of the upper-atmospheric emissions between 7 and 24 micrometers. During an IBC II aurora, data were obtained on the 15-micrometer carbon dioxide emission from 65 to 150 km and on the 9.6 micrometer ozone emission between 45 and 100 km. In addition, emission data on the long-wavelength wing of the 6.3 micrometer water band between 6.7 and 7.6 micrometers were also obtained between 50 and 75 km. Above 100 km, significant unidentified emission was observed at 9.3 micrometers with weaker features at 6.9, 7.3, 8.0, 11.1, and 12.3 micrometers. This report documents in detail the data obtained along with the rocket and payload performance, the auroral conditions at launch and a comparison with theoretical models.

Download or read book Rocketborne Measurements of Optical Emissions from the Auroral E layer written by Roger A. Van Tassel and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall objective of the AFGL Auroral-E Program is to develop a system to specify the electron density in the auroral E-layer by remote sensing of optical emissions. The first step in meeting this objective was a careful input-output experiment conducted in Alaska during March 1981. This experiment included satellite measurements of the source particle stream; rocket measurements of the optical emissions, electron and proton fluxes and electron, neutral and ion densities, neutral winds and electromagnetic fields; airborne measurements to provide data to assess the auroral and ionospheric conditions prior to and during launch; and incoherent scatter radar measurements to provide neutral wind, electric field and electron density data. These data will be used to establish a quantitative relationship among the precipitating particles, the resulting electron density profiles and the optical emissions from several species in the continuous or diffuse aurora. This report gives the results of the rocket-borne filter photometer experiment.

This book was released on 1964 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific objectives of the experiments and the individual instruments flown on the Astrobee 200 sounding rocket AC 15.610 are discussed in detail. The rocket was instrumented for auroral studies and was launched from Fort Churchill, Manitoba, Canada on 8 December 1963. The instrumentation included a new detector to measure the rate of ion production during periods of abnormally large ionization and other detectors to measure such related phenomenon as particle fluxes and auroral line intensities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Aerobee rocket was fired into Class I Aurora at Churchill, Canada on 8 February 1964. Data are available from the following experiments: retarding potential probes mounted on the front and side, standing wave impedance probe on two frequencies, plasma frequency probe, plasma resonance probe, and a Langmuir probe. In addition, simultaneous measurements have been made with ionosondes, all sky cameras, photometers, spectrometers, auroral radar, riometers, and magnetometers. The rocket went through the aurora on ascent and descent at about 105 km. Density values were measured at this altitude about 2.5 x 100,000 per cu cm. This is about a factor of 10 more than that measured at the peak altitude of 228 km. The data are relatively smooth with little of the irregularities expected in an aurora. (Author).

This book was released on 1973 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The High Altitude Effects Simulation (HAES) program is an effort to indirectly obtain information on the reaction of the upper atmosphere to nuclear explosions. In the absence of actual nuclear testing in the atmosphere, a number of experiments are being carried out both in the laboratory and in the field to determine a sufficient number of parameters to characterize the environment and its reactions in a suitable model. This technical note is one of a series that provides brief descriptions of scientific programs investigating the physics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere under normal and disturbed conditions. One of these experiments uses a rocket-borne High Resolution Interferometer Spectrometer (HIRIS) to measure auroral emissions in the far infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrometer is the principal rocket payload to be flown from the Poker Flat, Alaska rocket range in the ICECAP 73 series during February-March 1973. The data obtained will be correlated with ground-based radar, optical, and magnetic measurements, and with rocket-borne measurements of atmospheric density, wind, and precipitating energetic particle fluxes. A description of the spectrometer and the experiment is given. (Author).
