Abstract
This paper briefly reviews the preliminary results of spectral measurements of IR atmospheric emissions in the wavelength region from 1.6 to 23 μm. These measurements were achieved using cryogenic spectrometers on six recent rocket flights conducted under the Air Force Cambridge/DNA ICECAP program for coordinated auroral measurements from Poker Flat, Alaska.
