摘要
Molecular oxygen and total number densities in the altitude range 70-120 km have been determined at Woomera by rocket measurements of the atmospheric absorption of solar ultra-violet and X-radiation using non-dispersive detectors carried in a Long Tom rocket fired to coincide with a pass over Australia of the N.R.L. solar radiation satellite Explorer 30. Comparison of the measured total and molecular oxygen number densities indicates a significant change in atmospheric composition above 100 km. Absolute measurements of the solar flux for several wavelength bands within the range 1050-1680 Å have been obtained and are compared with Explorer 30 values. © 1969.
