Using Astronomical Sky Spectra for Aeronomy Studies: Investigations of O2, Na, and N 2D

这是一个为期三年的项目，目的是利用10米W. H.位于夏威夷莫纳克亚山上的凯克望远镜。许多要使用的数据已经收集，并已被用于共同添加的形式，以提供显着的进步，在光谱的MLT区域。然而，这些数据的某些方面还没有被挖掘，许多新的信息可能是从50分钟的数据集的氧，氮和钠的排放。SRI国际的物理科学部门为开发从本科到博士后培训的各种教育水平的人力资源做出了重大贡献。分子物理实验室在NSF REU（本科生研究经验）计划中特别活跃。

This is a three year project to continue the investigations of emissions in the terrestrial atmosphere using data obtained with the 10-m W. H. Keck telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Much of the data to be used have already been collected and have been used in a co-added form to provide dramatic advances in the spectroscopy of the MLT region. However, some aspects of these data have not yet been tapped, and much new information is potentially available from 50-min data sets on oxygen, nitrogen and sodium emissions. The Physical Sciences Division at SRI International makes a substantial contribution to developing human resources over a range of educational levels, from undergraduate to postdoctoral training. The Molecular Physics Laboratory has been particularly active in the NSF REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) Program.
