Research:

Study of upper atmosphere dynamics from airglow observations
Atmospheric variations in the mesopause region (altitudes 80 - 100 km) are investigated using optical measurements of temperatures and airglow intensities. Our data base from Argentina already covers the dynamical activity during more than 5600 nights.

How we do it:

      Guided tour, or just a few details....

      Airglow (more precisely, "nightglow") spectrometer diagram        .....spectral range
       .....spectral response        .....stability        .....controller card        .....picture at El Leoncito site
      Instrument control program    Sample log file (normal operation)    Instrument calibration
