Inversion of "O" _"2" " 1.27 μm" nightglow emissions: A climatological analysis using satellite limb-viewed spectra and harmonic analysis method

Abstract

1) The Volume Emission Rates of O 2 1.27 μm nightglow were retrieved using linear global algorithm based on satellite limb-viewed spectra.(2) The Volume Emission Rates showed good consistency with SABER observations, and it exhibits annual maxima at 90 km above equator.(3) The temporal variations of Volume Emission Rates were revealed, showing solar cycle dependence, annual and semi-annual variations.
