OH Meinel band nightglow profiles from OSIRIS observations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The mesospheric nightglow spectrum is replete with OH Meinel band emissions, from the midvisible to the midinfrared. These emissions provide a wealth of aeronomic information, giving a physical view of the chemistry and dynamics of the upper atmosphere. The Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imaging System (OSIRIS) instrument, on the Odin satellite, is currently one of the few satellite instruments that simultaneously observes emissions from multiple and separate Meinel bands. This has allowed the derivation of near‐global data sets of nighttime OH volume emission rate profiles for the Meinel (5‐1), (8‐3), and (9‐4) bands. The 2002–2013 climatologies consistently show that emission from bands in higher upper vibrational levels peaks at higher altitudes. The global average (5‐1), (8‐3), and (9‐4) band emission peak heights are at altitudes of 86.0 km, 86.7 km, and 87.1 km, respectively. The 1 σ variation in the (5‐1), (8‐3), and (9‐4) band, peak heights are 1.8 km, 1.9 km, and 1.9 km, respectively. The climatological (30 day, 10° latitude) peak heights can vary significantly with both time and latitude; however, the (5‐1) band climatological peak height is nearly always below that of the (8‐3) band, which is nearly always below that of the (9‐4) band. The temporal variation in the emission peak height can have a significant impact on measurements of OH rotational temperatures from ground‐based observations of the OH layer. It was found that omitting the profile climatology can bias a ground‐based temperature measurement by as much as ±4 K and can also make ground‐based measurements susceptible to nonrealistic temperature variations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
