Refinements of a classical technique of airglow spectroscopy

We have performed ground-based airglow observations with a tilting filter spectrometer to determine rotational temperatures in the mesopause region since 1984. Although quite simple in principle, the success of the technique depends on a number of non-trivial details, including corrections for measu...
