Abstract Details

2005, BA, Oberlin College, Physics and Astronomy.
An optically thin layer of carbon monoxide in the Earth's mesosphere results in strong, sharp emission peaks at CO's rotational transition frequencies. The J = 2 → 1 and J = 4 → 3 transitions were observed by the Antarctic Sub-millimeter Telescope / Remote Observatory (AST/RO), located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. Mesospheric wind speeds were calculated from the Doppler shifts in emission spectra, as determined by least-squares fitting
