The instruments
measure atmospheric densities and temperatures for both the electrically neutral (e.g., carbon dioxide, CO2, atomic oxygen, O, atomic hydrogen, H, and other species) and the electrically charged constituents (that is, ions such as CO2 + and O2 +, and electrons).
Not exact matches
By being able to
measure electron
density with high accuracy in
atmospheric pressure low - temperature plasma, it is no longer necessary to rely solely upon experience and trial and error.
But in the case of
atmospheric pressure low -
density plasma, due to the influences of changes in the
atmospheric pressure in a plasma as well as around the plasma, it was difficult to accurately
measure electron
density.
Using the bright light generated by these stars, researchers will be able to use spectroscopy — a technique that
measures the absorption and emission of light — to determine a planet's mass,
density and
atmospheric composition, which could provide insights into whether or not it harbors life.
For example, let's say that evidence convinced me (in a way that I wasn't convinced previously) that all recent changes in land surface temperatures and sea surface temperatures and
atmospheric temperatures and deep sea temperatures and sea ice extent and sea ice volume and sea ice
density and moisture content in the air and cloud coverage and rainfall and
measures of extreme weather were all directly tied to internal natural variability, and that I can now see that as the result of a statistical modeling of the trends as associated with natural phenomena.
In
atmospheric physics, lidar is used as a remote detection instrument to
measure densities of certain constituents of the middle and upper atmosphere, such as potassium, sodium, or molecular nitrogen and oxygen.
