This RUI project is aimed at better understanding the composition, dynamics, and energetics of the upper atmosphere through measurements and analysis of the extremely faint nighttime airglow emissions. Four wavelengths of light arising from different upper atmospheric processes are chosen to obtain information from four different heights in the upper atmosphere. The institution has an eight channel zenith photometer (for the four wavelengths and background reference), and an intensified all-sky camera suitable for imaging the airglow in each of four selected wavelengths. Special emphasis will be given to collaborative projects in the CEDAR program to give the undergraduate students involved a realistic research experience and exposure to a broad range of scientists and scientific activity. In addition, improvement of a local observing site will make possible regular observational programs by undergraduates.

这个RUI项目旨在更好地了解 高层大气的组成、动力学和能量学 通过对极微弱的 夜间气辉发射。四种波长的光 从不同的高层大气过程中，选择获得 来自高层大气中四个不同高度的信息。 该机构有一个八通道天顶光度计（用于 四个波长和背景参考），以及增强的 全天空照相机，适合于在四个 选择波长将特别强调 CEDAR计划中的合作项目， 本科生参与了现实的研究经验 和接触广泛的科学家和科学 活动此外，改善当地观测站将 使本科生的定期观察计划成为可能。
