CEDAR email: AOGS-2016, AS03, Airglow Emissions

[Mykhaylo Grygalashvyly]

Dear Colleagues,

 

We would like to call your attention to session AS-03 at the Asia Oceania
Geosciences Society (AOGS 2016) conference on recent advances in studies of
the airglow emissions, to be held July 31 - August 5, 2016 in Beijing.  

 

A session dedicated to the study of the Airglow Emissions on Earth and
Terrestrial Planets (Mars and Venus). 

 

Presentations which deal with the details of the morphology, temporal
variability, photochemistry and the nature of its response to dynamical
disturbances are invited. 

 

This includes presentations on ground and satellite observations, model
simulations, as well as new observation techniques and theoretical research
that can help advance our knowledge of the excited hydroxyl layer
parameters, formation and relaxation on Earth, Mars and Venus. This session
is intended to support discussion and collaboration on the understanding of
this airglow emission and possible differences in its formation on different
planets. 

 

The abstract submission deadline is February 19, 2016.

 

For more information, please see the AOGS 2015 webpage at:

Sincerely,

Michael Grygalashvyly

Airglow Layers on Earth and Terrestrial Planets

 

The observations of O2(exc.), O(exc.), Na(exc.) and OH* airglow emissions is
a tool extensively used to infer temperatures in MLT (mesosphere - lower
thermosphere) and information about dynamical processes, such as gravity
waves, planetary waves, and tides. The airglow measurements are used to
determine O, O3, and H which are very difficult to measure by other methods,
and, in perspective, can be used to retrieve the water vapor. A number of
investigations are focused on temperature trends. Recently, airglow
emissions were detected on Mars and Venus that give rise new abilities.

Notwithstanding large application, less attention was devoted to parameters
of the airglow layers such as thickness, altitude, and concentration.
Concerning the airglow layers a number of questions arise. How do the
altitudes, intensities, concentrations of the layers change? Which
variations in temperature corresponds to the layers variations? How do the
variations dependent on chemistry, dynamics and Solar activity? What is the
relative behavior of the layers? What are the dependences between the
heights and emissions intensities (concentrations)? These and other
questions can be asked in the framework of seasonal-latitudinal, short-term,
and long-term variability. The questions on formation-relaxation processes
of the airglow layers are represent an additional field of interest.

A session will be dedicated to O2(exc.), O(exc.), Na(exc.) and OH* airglow
emissions in the atmospheres of the Earth and Terrestrial planets.
Presentations which deal with the details of the formation-relaxation
processes, morphology, temporal variability, photochemistry and the nature
of its response to dynamical disturbances will be collected, including
ground based and satellite observations, model simulations, as well as new
observation techniques and theoretical research that can help advance our
knowledge of the airglow layers parameters, formation and relaxation. This
session is intended to support discussion and collaboration on the
understanding of airglow emissions.
