This new calibration atlas is based on frequency rather than wavelength calibration techniques for absolute ref's. Add'l. data from alternate methodology are used for different frequency measurements within each band investigated by freq'y. measurement techniques. Data from these complementary techniques incl. the best Fourier transform measurements available. Includes a description of the heterodyne freq'y. measurement techniques, and calculation proceed. Bib'y. of 350 entries. Several hundred spectral-maps for the various calibration molecules.

The book summarizes international progress over the last few decades in upper atmosphere airglow research. Measurement methods, theoretical concepts and empirical models of a wide spectrum of upper atmospheric emissions and their variability are considered. The book contains a detailed bibliography of studies related to the upper atmosphere airglow. Readers will also benefit from a lot of useful information on emission characteristics and its formation processes found the book.
