| Abstract: | Mesosphere
Lower Thermosphere Photometer (MLTP) has been designed at ARIES for studying
mesosphere lower thermosphere coupling processes. MLTP utilizes f/2 optics with
4o circular field of view. It has seven narrow bandwidth (FWHM ~ 4
Å) interference filters mounted on a geared filter plate housed in filter
chamber under precise temperature controlled conditions. Out of these seven
filters, filter at 630 nm is meant to monitor ionospheric F- region airglow
emission due to atomic oxygen. MLTP has been successfully installed and made
operational at Space Weather Laboratory of ARIES. |
