Application of Doppler Michelson imaging to upper atmospheric wind measurement: WINDII and beyond

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The electro optical revolution that began at the Laboratoire de Bellevue in France led aeronomers to realize the potential of the Fabry-Perot spectrometer for measurement of upper atmospheric temperature from Doppler line widths of atomic oxygen emission in airglow. An alternative offering much greater responsivity is the field-widened Michelson interferometer; for reviews see Ring and Schofield (1972) and Baker (1977).
