| Summary: | The ELIAS (Earth Limb Infrared Atmospheric
Structure) experiment was flown from the Poker Flat Research Range, Alaska in
1983 and successfully monitored visible and infrared emissions from an IBC III<sup>+</sup>
aurora. Measurements were performed in both staring and scanning modes over
several hundred seconds. The data for short- and mid-wave infrared regions have
been analyzed in terms of auroral excitation of the NO and NO<sup>+</sup>
vibrational bands. Auroral excitation efficiencies and kinetic implications are
presented. |
