A new strategy for ionospheric remote sensing using the 130.4/135.6 nm airglow intensity ratios

We demonstrate here that global-scale determination of a key ionospheric parameter, the peak height of the F2 region (hmF2), can be obtained by making a simple ratio measurement of the atomic oxygen 130.4 and 135.6 nm emissions in the far-ultraviolet nightglow with a nadir-viewing system such as a p...
