Infrared Scattering Observations in the Upper Atmosphere
Observations of sky emission and absorption in the far infrared (mean wavelength 120 /•) and, simultaneously, sky emission at wavelength 6 • have been made by P. Kuhn (ESSA): from the NASA CV-990 aircraft flying at 12-km altitude over the middle Pacific at latitudes 10ø-15øN. A lack of correlation between the nearand far-infrared data, especially during times of visible cirrus cloud cover above...
متن کاملSources of cosmic dust in the Earth's atmosphere
There are four known sources of dust in the inner solar system: Jupiter Family comets, asteroids, Halley Type comets, and Oort Cloud comets. Here we combine the mass, velocity, and radiant distributions of these cosmic dust populations from an astronomical model with a chemical ablation model to estimate the injection rates of Na and Fe into the Earth's upper atmosphere, as well as the flux of ...
متن کاملDiurnal variation of the potassium layer in the upper atmosphere
Measurements of the diurnal cycle of potassium (K) atoms between 80 and 110 km have been made during October (for the years 2004-2011) using a Doppler lidar at Kühlungsborn, Germany (54.1°N, 11.7°E). A pronounced diurnal variation is observed in the K number density, which is explored by using a detailed description of the neutral and ionized chemistry of K in a three-dimensional chemistry clim...
متن کاملEvaluation of Heavy Metal Dust Pollution and their Origin in the Atmosphere of Kuhdasht, Lorestan Province
Dust is one of the environmental hazards in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. In some areas, under the influence of human activities, dust is contaminated by heavy metals. In this study, the dust of 10 stations in the Kuhdasht region of Lorestan province in four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, as well as adjacent surface soils (a total of 40 dust samples and 10 surface soi...
متن کاملOn the size and velocity distribution of cosmic dust particles entering the atmosphere
The size and velocity distribution of cosmic dust particles entering the Earth's atmosphere is uncertain. Here we show that the relative concentrations of metal atoms in the upper mesosphere, and the surface accretion rate of cosmic spherules, provide sensitive probes of this distribution. Three cosmic dust models are selected as case studies: two are astronomical models, the first constrained ...
