研究目的
To measure the atmospheric perturbation in the minutes following the occurrence of transient luminous events (TLEs) from a stratospheric balloon in the altitude range of 20–40 km.
研究成果
The study concludes that it is feasible to detect the local enhancement of O3, and possibly NO2 and NO, produced by a single blue jet at low altitudes (20–35 km) using hyperspectral imagery. The detection of hot vibrational bands at higher altitudes is also deemed feasible, providing complementary information about energy deposition and vibrational chemistry caused by TLEs.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the lack of suitable experimental data as a shortcoming that hampers understanding of the physics and chemistry induced by TLEs. The feasibility of detecting spectral signatures is discussed, noting the challenges in measuring NO2 and NO with sufficient sensitivity.
