Research Abstract |
We investigate the ionosphere-thermosphere coupling process by visualization of neutral atmosphere and plasma. The visualizations are carried out by Lithium gas releases from rockets, which are launched by NASA and JAXA/ISAS. The Lithium gas scatters sunlights with a wavelength of 670nm, and the bright gas is observed by CCD cameras with narrow band filters at 3 ground stations. From the diffusion and the movement of the Lithium gas, we estimate neutral wind velocity, density and temperature at altitudes from 100km to 300km.
