OH (8-3) band rotational temperature was observed at 78.4°N during a stratospheric wanning event. A negative temperature wave of the order of 40 K observed near the mesopause seems to be associated with a corresponding stratospheric warming of the order of 20 K. A 1–2-day delay is observed between the maximum stratospheric warming and the maximum cooling near the mesopause seen in the OH rotational temperature change. 相似文献

We report ground-based laser heterodyne spectroscopy of non-thermal emission in the cores of the 10.33-μmR(8) and 10.72-μmP(32) lines of 12C16O2, obtained at 23 locations on the disk of Mars during the 1984 opposition, at Ls = 130°. The data were obtained at a sub-Doppler spectral resolution, and the temperature of the middle Martian atmosphere (50–85 km) is derived from the frequency width and intensity of the R(8) emission, and from the total intensity of the P(32) emission. We find that the temperature of the middle Martian atmosphere varies with latitude. Near the subsolar latitude, the average 50- to 85-km temperature is close to the radiative equilibrium value for a CO2 atmosphere. However, at high latitudes in both the northern (summer) and southern (winter) hemispheres the 50- to 85-km temperature exceeds the CO2 radiative equilibrium value; a meridional gradient in the range of 0.4 – 0.9°K per degree of latitude is indicated by our data. The highest temperatures are seen at high latitudes in the winter hemisphere, reminiscent of the seasonal effects seen at the Earth's mesopause. As in the terrestrial case, this winter polar warming in the Martian middle atmosphere necessitates departures from radiative equilibrium; dynamical heating of order 4 × 102 ergs g−1 sec−1 is required at the edge of the winter polar night. A comparison with 2-D circulation models shows that the presence of atmospheric dust may enhance this dynamical heating at high winter latitudes, and may also account for heating at high latitudes in the summer hemisphere. 相似文献

Atmospheric temperatures from the polar mesopause are deduced from spectrophotometric measurements of hydroxyl bands and lines in the night airglow made at 78°N during December and January 1980/81 and 1982/83. An overall mean temperature of 220 K is found with a range from 172 to 257 K in the daily mean values. Several warm periods lasting 3–6 days may be due to heat dissipated by gravity waves. One week of consistently low temperatures was apparently connected to a stratospheric warming. Both datasets show a warmer mean temperature later in January than for early and mid-December. The polar OH airglow seems to peak at or just above the mesopause. The data also indicate that the mesopause is situated at approx. 90 km with an upper temperature gradient of 1 K km?1 indicating a very shallow mesopause. A superposed epoch analysis of 19 consecutive 24-h periods reveals a semidiurnal variation in the temperature around winter solstice with an amplitude of 5 K. No diurnal variation of amplitude greater than 1 K is apparent. Average wind velocity deduced from the amplitude of the semidiurnal temperature variation is 9 m s?1. 相似文献

Submillimeter line observations of CO in the Venus middle atmosphere (mesosphere) were observed with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT, Mauna Kea) about the May 2000, February 2002 superior and July 1999, March 2001 inferior conjunctions of Venus. Combined 12CO and 13CO isotope spectral line measurements at 345 and 330 gHz frequencies, respectively, provided enhanced sensitivity and vertical coverage for simultaneous retrievals of atmospheric temperatures and CO mixing ratios over the altitude region 75-105 km with vertical resolution 4-5 km. Supporting millimeter 12CO spectral line observations with the Kitt Peak 12-m telescope (Steward Observatories) provide enhanced temporal coverage and CO mixing sensitivity. Implementation of CO/temperature profile retrievals for the 2000, 2002 dayside (superior conjunction) and 1999, 2001 nightside (inferior conjunction) periods yields a first-time definition of the vertical structure and diurnal variation of a low-to-mid-latitude mesopause within the Venus atmosphere. At the times of these 1999-2002 observations, the Venus mesopause was located at a slightly lower level in the nightside (0.5 mbar, ∼87 km) versus the dayside (0.2 mbar, ∼91 km) atmosphere. Average diurnal variation of Venus mesospheric temperatures appears to be ≤ 5 K at and below the mesopause. Diurnal variation of Venus thermospheric temperatures increases abruptly just above the mesopause, reaching 50 K by the 0.01-mbar pressure level (∼102 km). Atmospheric temperatures above and below the Venus mesopause exhibited global-scale (≥4000 km horizontal) variations of large amplitude (7-15 K) on surprisingly short timescales (daily to monthly) during the 2001 nightside and 2002 dayside observing periods. Venus dayside mesospheric temperatures observed during the 2002 superior conjunction were also 10-15 K warmer than observed during the 2000 superior conjunction. A characteristic timescale for these global temperature variations is not defined, but their magnitude is comparable to previous determinations of secular variability in nightside mesospheric temperatures (Clancy and Muhleman, 1991). 相似文献

We present some results of a theoretical and laboratory program to determine the thermal infrared spectral properties of the principal gaseous constituents of the atmosphere of Jupiter. G. Birnbaum has measured laboratory spectra in the 16 to 1000 um wavelength range for hydrogen and hydrogen-helium mixtures at Jovian temperatures. These are compared to theoretically computed spectra in order to determine the temperature dependence of the line strengths in the pressure-induced rotational band and the overlap parameters from the translational band. Existing spectral data for methane do not agree well with measurements of the ν4 band at room temperature. A revised allocation of line intensities is proposed. Existing data for the ν2 (10 um) band of ammonia do agree reasonably well with measurements at room temperature and at ?77δC, but there are some important discrepancies which remain to be explained. 相似文献

The OH (8, 3) band airglow emission has been observed over 1 year at a latitude of 23°S. The average band intensity observed was 385 Rayleighs with a nocturnal range typically less than 100 R. The nocturnal variation in rotational temperature was usually less than 10°K, and the mean temperature was 179°K. The nocturnal variation of intensity is usually uncorrelated with that of the rotational temperature. Time average values of these parameters do, however, show some correlation. On some occasions large post-twilight and pre-dawn intensity enhancements are observed. 相似文献

A model calculation to predict infrared Shuttle flow due to the radiative relaxation of vibration of the NO molecule is presented. Space Shuttles hit atmospheric NO molecules at a very high speed (≈ 8 km s?1) and excite vibrational and rotational motions up to the temperature of 54,000 K. With the electric dipole radiation of Δν = 1, 2, 3, and particularly 4 (ν is the vibrational quantum number), the excited NO molecules emit infrared radiation before they collide with other molecules. The total radiation power is estimated to be 170AμW, where A is the cross-section area of the Shuttle in m2 if no adsorption of the NO molecule takes place on the Shuttle surface. The intensity of each infrared line is calculated as a function of time, including all vibrational states up to ν = 35. For example, the 5039 cm?1 line (ν = 24 → 20) has a maximum intensity of about 2.3 × 10?21 W molecule at around 0.2 ms, which corresponds to 80 cm from the Shuttle surface if the recoil speed of the molecules is 4 km s?1. 相似文献

In this paper the results of OH (8,3) emission intensity and rotational temperature measurements made in the Brazilian sector (23°S) from 1972 to 1974 are presented. Diurnal variations of both the parameters are found to fall into distinct classes, showing significant seasonal effects. A correlative study with the OI 5577 Å emission measured simultaneously is also presented. It is shown that both the phase and amplitude of the major part of the mean nocturnal intensity variations of the two emissions can be explained by the density and temperature perturbations caused by the solar semidiurnal tide. The OH emission is found to increase slightly during magnetic disturbances. 相似文献

In this study a method is outlined which is capable of giving neutral temperatures and height changes in the aurora when the molecular emissions originate from the E-region.Absolute spectrometric measurements of N2+ 1NG and O2+ 1NG bands and the auroral green line are performed in a nightside aurora. Rotational temperatures and band intensities are deduced by a least-squares fit of synthetic spectra to observations. There is a close correlation between the variations in rotational temperatures and the relative intensity ratio of N2+ 1NG(0,3) and O2+ 1NG(1,0) bands. The change in the relative intensity ratio is similar to the intensity variation predicted by the changing N2 and O2 densities from 120 to 150 km, obtained from the MSIS 83 model atmosphere, and the derived neutral temperature variations are consistent with a similar change in emission height of the aurora. Therefore the changing temperature is most likely due to a changing emission height of the aurora, and no local heating can be inferred. 相似文献

A new numerical method for the analysis of the high dispersion photospheric spectrum is described. In particular the method is applied to study the C2(0, 0) d 3 Πg-a a Πu molecular band. From measurements of the equivalent widths of C2 lines, a rotational temperature of 4450 ± 305 K is obtained, and the band intensity log W 0 /S 0 = ?0.051 ± 0.101 is found. 相似文献

Airborne and groundbased OH measurements showing short-term temporal variations in OH rotational temperature are presented. The variations are interpreted on the basis of a dynamic model of the OH emitting region; they are also employed to clarify the apparent contradiction in latitude dependence of OH intensity reported in the literature. 相似文献

New thermal profiles of Jupiter are retrieved from recent far infrared spectral measurements and for H2 mixing ratios varying from 0.8 to 0.94. The effective temperature corresponding to the inferred thermal profile is 123.15 ± 0.35°K. Far-infrared brightness temperature spectra computed from these profiles are compared to experimental data including measurements made at high spectral resolution in the NH3ν2 band at 10 μm and in NH3 pure rotational bands between 40 and 110 μm. It is found that a strong depletion of NH3 does occur in the Jovian stratosphere and that ammonia seems to be undersaturated in the upper troposphere. 相似文献

This paper presents preliminary results of a cooperative franco-sovietic program to study the polar atmosphere by the lidar technique. Atomic sodium concentration has been measured together with the neutral atmospheric temperature by means of the absorption method. The total sodium content is 6.109 atom cm?2 during February and March 1976. High values of the temperature (～210 K) have been measured at the mesopause level. 相似文献

Three-dimensional models of the Io torus are employed to analyze the spectroscopic data reported by J.S. Morgan (1985, Icarus62, 389–414). These models are used to compare Morgan's ground-based spectroscopic data with R.J. Oliversen's (1983, The Io Plasma Torus: Its Structure and Sulfur Emission Spectra. Ph.D. thesis, University of Wisconsin-Madison) nearly simultaneous [SII] images and with the in situ measurements made by Voyager 1. The models are also used to investigate whether the observed [SII] longitudinal intensity variations were caused by intrinsic or geometric effects, and to test the hypothesis that the observed optical east-west variations are consistent with the convective motions suggested by D.D. Barbosa and M.G. Kivelson (1983, Geophys. Res. Lett.10, 210–213) and W.-H. Ip and C. K. Goertz (1983, Nature302, 232–233). Oliversen's images are found to be in good agreement with Morgan's spectroscopic measurements. Three significant differences exist between these data and the torus described in the Voyager 1 experiments: (1) the torus beyond ～5.7RJ was found to be at least 1.5 to 2 times denser in 1981 than at the time of the Voyager 1 measurements in 1979, (2) the outer torus SII ion temperatures were approximately two times cooler than those measured by Voyager 1, and (3) in 1981, the outer torus OII mixing ratios were lower than were suggested by the Voyager 1 experiments. The 1981 ground-based OII/SII intensity ratios are found to be consistent with a radial peak near 6.0RJ in the ratio of oxygen to sulfur. At its maximum this ratio is ～2, and it falls to ～1 within ～0.5RJ inside and outside of this radius. Viewing geometry variations were found to be inadequate to account for the longitudinal variations observed by Morgan (1984). Intrinsic longitudinal intensity changes of about a factor of 2 are required to match the 1981 observations. Convective motions were found to adequately explain the observed optical east-west intensity asymmetry, but problems in interpreting the [OII] doublet line ratios still remain. It is suggested that systematic errors are present in the measurements of the [OII] line ratios. 相似文献

The rotational temperature of the airglow hydroxyl emissions arising from various schemes of vibrational transitions was obtained by using spectroscopic data from six observational sources. The rotational temperature was found to depend systematically on the quantum number (ν') of the upper vibrational level from which the relevant band originates. It has a doubly degrading characteristic with respect to ν' taking maximal values at ν' = 6 and 9, which exceed considerably the atmospheric temperature. It drops off quickly as ν' decreases from 9 to 7, and then from 6 to 3 after making an abrupt rise at ν' = 6. This ν'-dependence of the rotational temperature is in favor of the hypothesis that there are two routes of excitation of the hydroxyl airglow: O3 + H = OH(ν ? 9) + O2, and HO2 + O = OH(ν ? 6) + O2. The present result implies also that the relaxation time of rotation of OH in the upper mesosphere is as long as 0.1 sec; a value an order of magnitude larger than that inferred in earlier laboratory experiments. 相似文献

We demonstrate how the radiance response of a wavelength scanning instrument may be improved with a programmable scanning system. A minicomputer with a high level language offers a versatile software package that can be readily modified for any specific problem. We illustrate the technique with the application of the one meter Ebert Fastie spectrophotometer at the Arecibo Observatory's airglow facility to the measurements of the peak spectral emissions of the 5200 Å doublet of N(2D) in the nightglow and the 7320 Å doublet of O+(2P) in twilight. Typical measurement errors were ±0.2 R and ±0.5 R, respectively. We have also applied this method to measurements of the OH rotational temperature from the ratio of the P1(2) and the P1(5) rotational lines in the Meinel 8-3 band and obtained a precision of ±3 K within a time period of 6 min. The required modifications to the wavelength drive were not extensive, the costs were not high, and the technique may be applied to any wavelength scanning instrument in operation today. 相似文献

We have detected giant pulses from the millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+214 at the lowest frequency of 112 MHz. The observed flux density at the pulse peak is ～40 000 Jy, which exceeds the average level by a factor of 600. Pulses of such intensity occur about once per 300 000 periods. The brightness temperature of the observed giant pulses is T B≈1035 K. We estimated the pulse broadening by interstellar scattering to be τsc=3–10 ms. Based on this estimate and on published high-frequency measurements of this parameter, we determined the frequency dependence of the pulse broadening by scattering: τsc(f)=25 × (f/100)?4.0±02. 相似文献

Two computerized tilting-filter photometers and a programmable dual axis mirror system have been used to produce maps of OH rotational temperature and intensity. Each map consists of a square array of 121 sky positions. Significant horizontal structure is not generally observed in mesospheric OH(8-3) rotational temperature at Arecibo. However, there is evidence for the occasional occurence of a thermal wave just after evening twilight. 相似文献

A systematic line profile analysis of Fexiv λ 5303 coronal line was carried out for a single active region successively observed both above the east and west solar limb (4, 18, and 19 October, 1974). Cross-correlations of the intensity, temperature and velocity structures among these three sets of observations show that although considerable variations are seen in intensity with accompanying some change in temperature, the velocity field can be stable as far as the magnetic field configuration remains stable. It is also pointed out that the standard wavelength of the green line would be 5302.815 Å which is somewhat shorter than the currently adopted value of 5302.86 Å, and that a ‘general’ flow from west to east might exist in this region superposed on the local velocity field. 相似文献

Forty-seven well exposed photographic plates of Venus which show the spectrum of the carbon dioxide band at 7820Å were obtained at Table Mountain Observatory in September and October 1972. These spectra showed a semiregular four-day variation in the CO2 abundance over the disk of the planet (Young et al., 1974). We also find evidence for temporal variations in the rotational temperature of this band and temperature variations over the disk. The two quantities, CO2 abundance and temperature, do not show any obvious relationship; however, an increase in the temperature usually is accompanied by a decrease in the abundance of CO2. The average temperature, found from a curve-of-growth analysis assuming a constant CO2 line width, is 249±1.4K (one standard deviation). This temperature is noticeably higher than the rotational temperature of 242±2K found for this same band in 1967 (Schorn et al., 1969) and of 242±1.2K in 1968–1969 (Young et al., 1971). 相似文献
