Optical Mesosphere Thermosphere Imagers (OMTI) Two-Channel Tilting Photometer at Athabasca

ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/Instrument/ISEE/OMTI/ATH/Tilting-Photometer3

Description

The tilting photometer (No.3) settled at Athabasca, Canada, which is a part of the Optical Mesosphere Thermosphere Imagers (OMTIs), measures airglow emissions at Hbeta (485.1 nm) line in every 10-minutes and N2+ first negative (427.8 nm) line in every 10-minute. This meridian-scanning is for three zenith angles from -74.88 (deg., northward) to +74.88 (deg., southward). Line spectra at the scan angle of 0 (deg., zenith) is also obtained every 10-minutes. It starts observation at Athabasca from Sep. 2005 and continues observation. (No.3 was at Rikubetsu till Nov. 2004.) The OMTIs were developed at the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University, in order to investigate the dynamics of the upper atmosphere through nocturnal airglow emissions.
