Technical Pictorial History of Ground Based Optical Measurements of DNA/USAF - PLExcede III Electron Beam Excitation of the Upper Atmosphere

摘要

On 26 April 1990 the USAF Phillips Laboratory, Geophysical Directorate conductedan upper atmospheric electron beam excitation experiment to study the in-situ atmospheric constituent excitation efficiency, relative excited state populations, and excited state decay rates as a function of altitude at the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. TIC deployed and operated ground based optical instrumentation from two orthogonal perspectives in support of the DNA/PL EXCEDE III experiment.
