Ultraviolet remote sensing techniques for planetary aeronomy

This paper presents an overview of the principles of the study of planetary atmospheres at\ 
vacuum ultraviolet wavelengths. Ultraviolet (UV) remote sensing is a powerful technique for\ 
investigating the chemistry, dynamics, energetics, and composition of planetary\ 
atmospheres. In the last fifteen years optical aeronomy has undergone a profound change.\ 
The field has begun the transformation from initial spectroscopy, in which the radiating\ 
species and their signatures are identified, to remote sensing in which the signatures are\ ...
