CEDAR: Imaging and Theoretical Interpretation of Upper Mesospheric Gravity Waves

这项提议将部署航天CCD相机来对OH Meinel和O2波段发射的温度和强度进行光谱测量。该仪器还将产生波段图像，用于研究大气重力波的二维水平波数谱，以及重力波破裂的频率。此外，这些数据将与共同定位的激光雷达或雷达仪器一起使用，以完整地描述所有观测到的波的光谱特性。最后，调查员将分析该项目第一年在ALOHA-93战役中获得的数据。

This proposal will deploy the Aerospace CCD camera to make spectral measurements of the temperature and intensity of the OH Meinel and O2 band emissions. The instrument will also produce the bands' images, which will be used for studying the two dimensional horizontal wave number spectrum of atmospheric gravity waves, and the frequency of breaking gravity waves. In addition, these data will be used in conjunction with the colocated lidar or radar instruments to completely characterize the spectral properties of all observed waves. Finally, the investigator will analyze data obtained in the ALOHA-93 campaign during the first year of this project.
