Airglow Image Database
1. Name of Database: Airglow image database
2. Institution: Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University
3. Contents of Database:
The Tohoku Univ. group develops new-model two-dimensional airglow imager and Fabry-Perot Doppler
Imaging System in Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program (STEP) which began at 1990, and it has acquired
all airglow image data using these. All airglow image data offer effective information, when the
two-dimensional behavior of the neutral atmosphere in the mesosphere and thermosphere where
atmospheric observation is very difficult is known.
In this database, it is made that it stores airglow data that the data acquired in Tohoku Univ.
Zao observatory (38°06'N、140°32'E) has been accumulated and until now into database and widely
opens it to public.
