Airglow Intensities

NSSDC ID: SPIO-00091

Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)

Time span: 1967-08-19 to 1968-11-01

Description

This data set was generated at NSSDC from magnetic tapes supplied by the principal investigator. The data set consists of airglow emission data on a binary magnetic tape written on an IBM 360 computer. The tape contains multiple files, and consecutive files may not be chronologically ordered. All eight photometer outputs are given in volts, which can be multiplied by the available conversion factors to obtain the measurements in rayleighs. Included with the sensor data are temporal and spatial parameters such as day and seconds of day of both start and end of measurements, local and universal times, and latitude and longitude of the measurements.
