SHIMMER: a spatial heterodyne spectrometer for remote sensing of earth's middle atmosphere.
It is well known and demonstrated that interference spectroscopy offers capabilities to obtain passive remote optical sensing spectra of high precision and also achieves economies in size, cost, and ease of deployment compared with more conventional systems. We describe the development of a near-ultraviolet spatial heterodyne spectrometer designed for remote sensing of the global distribution o...
متن کاملRobust monolithic ultraviolet interferometer for the SHIMMER instrument on STPSat-1.
We describe the design, fabrication, and testing of a monolithic interferometer consisting entirely of optically contacted fused-silica optical elements that are assembled, adjusted, and permanently bonded in place. The interferometer is part of a spatial heterodyne spectrometer (SHS) [SHIMMER (Spatial Heterodyne Imager for Mesospheric Radicals)] that will be used for near-ultraviolet high-spec...

متن کاملVariability of mesospheric diurnal tides and tropospheric diurnal heating during 1997–1998
[1] This study focuses on interannual variations of diurnal tropospheric heating and the response in the mesosphere observed by radars and predicted by a model. The work is prompted by reports of interannual variability in amplitudes of tidal variables at low latitudes. Diurnal tides observed at Hawaii and Christmas Island exhibit a pronounced ‘‘spike’’ in amplitude from late 1997 to early 1998...
