Evidence for an OH(u) excitation mechanism of CO sub(2) 4.3 mu m nighttime emission from SABER/TIMED measurements

The SABER instrument on board the TIMED satellite, successfully launched on 7 December 2001, measures the CO sub(2) 4.3 mu m atmospheric emission at day and night, from the troposphere up to the thermosphere, with a near global latitude coverage and with a very high signal-to-noise ratio. SABER has...

Description
Summary:The SABER instrument on board the TIMED satellite, successfully launched on 7 December 2001, measures the CO sub(2) 4.3 mu m atmospheric emission at day and night, from the troposphere up to the thermosphere, with a near global latitude coverage and with a very high signal-to-noise ratio. SABER has also three channels near 15 mu m for the measurements of the pressure-temperature structure and two channels around 2.0 and 1.6 mu m, mainly sensitive to the OH(υ
