Collaborative Research: CEDAR--Short Wave Infrared Imaging of the Meinel 0-0 Auroral and t — NSF Award to Embry-Riddle Aeronautica

This proposal takes advantage of an existing Short Wavelength InfraRed (SWIR) all-sky imager and is an example of advances in technology that has enabled measurements in the least studied spectral region spanning 800 – 1700 nm wavelength range. The investigators plan to utilize this instrument to map mesoscale spatial

AbstractThis proposal takes advantage of an existing Short Wavelength InfraRed (SWIR) all-sky imager and is an example of advances in technology that has enabled measurements in the least studied spectral region spanning 800 – 1700 nm wavelength range. The investigators plan to utilize this instrument to map mesoscale spatial brightness structures to study auroral and airglow emissions. The project aims to investigate the role of Alfvénic waves in generating auroral arcs and to measure metastable Helium
