Atmospheric structure in the lower thermosphere

Por: Champion, K. S. W [autor] .Tipo de material: TextoTextoEditor: L.G. Hanscom Field: Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, 1965Descripción: 35 páginas: gráficas; 30 cm.Tema(s): ATMÓSFERA  | TERMÓSFERA  | TEMPERATURA Clasificación CDD: 551.514/C516 Resumen: This review constitutes a revision and up-dating of the report, atmospheric structure and its variations in the lower thermosphere, AFCRL-63-873. It has been prepared for inclusion as an appendix in the proposed new edition of the COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere (CIRA). New density data presented and discussed include the results of four fallingsphere density measurements made at White Sands, New Mexico, and densities deduced from drag effects on Explorer XVII and other satellites. The satellite density data is compared with the predictions of several models of Jacchia and Harris and Priester. Temperature data include revised values deduced by Blamont from Doppler broadening of sodium and potassium resonance lines. The new values are in better agreement with theoretical models than the earlier results. Recent composition results include number densities of O2, N2 and O calculated from ultraviolet absorption measurements by Hinteregger, and values of mean molecular mass from Explorer XVII and the rocket measurements of Nier and Schaefer.
