Abstract

Band head emissions from highly rotationally excited NO (v,J) (J≈90) have been observed in the quiescent atmosphere at tangent heights between approximately 115 and 190 km for both sunlit and nighttime conditions. The data were obtained by the cryogenic CIRRIS‐1A interferometer which was operated on...
