英文摘要: | Ground-based resonance lidar has been used to detect the mesospheric nickel (Ni) layer. The Ni layer is detected through absorption in the 3d8(3F)4s2→3d9(2D)4p transition at 337.1nm and reemission in both the 3d9(2D)4p→3d8(3F)4s2 and 3d9(2D)4p→3d9(2D)4s transitions at 337.1 and 339.4nm, respectively. Results from wintertime lidar observations on two nights (27-28 November and 20-21 December 2012) at Chatanika, Alaska (65°N, 147°W), are presented. The wintertime Ni layer has a peak concentration of 1.6×104cm-3 at 87km, with a column abundance of 2.7×1010cm-2, centroid height of 88km, and root-mean-square width of 6.4km. The midwinter abundance of mesospheric iron (Fe) at Chatanika is 3.4×1010cm-2, indicating a ratio of Fe to Ni of 1.2 in the upper atmosphere. This is significantly lower than the value of 18 for the ratio of Fe to Ni in chondrite meteorites. © 2015. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. |
