Use of O<sub>2</sub> airglow for calibrating direct atomic oxygen measurements from sounding rockets
Accurate knowledge about the distribution of atomic oxygen is crucial for many studies of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Direct measurements of atomic oxygen by the resonance fluorescence technique at 130 nm have been made from many sounding rocket payloads in the past. This measurement tech...
