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，利用夏威夷莫纳克亚山上的10米凯克望远镜获得的数据，继续调查地球大气中的排放物。许多将要使用的数据已经被收集，并以共同添加的形式使用，以在MLT区域的光谱学方面提供巨大的进步。然而，这些数据的某些方面尚未得到利用，从50分钟的氧、氮和钠排放数据集中可能获得许多新的信息。SRI国际的物理科学部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）项目中尤为活跃。

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.
