Tomographic techniques are applied to the measurement of the oxygen infrared atmospheric bands. New instrumentation is being developed to measure the twilight sky spectrum to determine the atmospheric temperature profile and aerosol content. Low-altitude spacecraft and rockets are frequently enveloped in a vehicle-induced glow, as the glow brightness is both species- and temperature-dependent, there is in an on-going program to use the glow signals as an indicator of the atomic oxygen content of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere.
