Spectrum of Sprite Halos
Original language description
Spectra of sprite halos in the spectral ranges 200 nm - 500 nm and 640 nm - 1065 nm are calculated for different spectral resolutions (between 2 nm and 10 nm), rotational temperatures (220 K and 1000 K) and observation altitudes corresponding to mountain(3 km and 4.3 km), airplane (14 km), balloon (35 km) and space observation platforms. We have calculated the non-equilibrium vibrational distribution functions (VDF) of different excited electronic states of molecular nitrogen (N2) associated to spritehalo optical emissions in the ultraviolet (UV), due to the N2 Lyman-Birge-Hopfield (LBH) and Vegard-Kaplan (VK) band systems, and near UV, visible and near infrared (NIR) due to the first (1PG) and second positive (2PG) bands of N2. Comparison of synthetic sprite halo spectra with the single sprite halo spectrum existing to date shows reasonable agreement after the observed sprite halo spectra was corrected for instrument sensitivity response. Calculated VDFs of the N2
