Airglow observation by Fabry-Perot interferometer

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

An all-sky and a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) have been developed for observations of vertical winds and two-dimensional atmospheric motions in the low-thermosphere and the mesosphere region by the measurement of Doppler shift and broadening of airglow emission lines. The system of FPI is described and the method of data analysis is proposed, an example of observation is also given.
