OH (3-1) band intensity maps from Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) January 2014 - January 2016 (Norway)
Intensity maps of airglow emissions from the hydroxyl radical (OH) were obtained from the Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle Atmosphere Research (ALOMAR) in Norway. These maps correspond to emissions from the OH (3,1) rotation-vibration band. The intensity maps were generated using emissions centred at 1523 nm and 1542 nm, corresponding to the P1(2) and P1(4) rotational transitions of this band, along with background regions centred at 1521 nm. The topmost and rightmost points of the images represent geographic north and east, respectively. Detailed image metadata is stored in an extended header starting at position 200 and is outlined in the accompanying README document.
The data were collected using the Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM), operated by Utah State University, USA. The AMTM is supported under the NSF collaborative grant AGS-1042227.

Methodology:
These images are in ".tiff" format and they are spatially calibrated using the known star background and projected into uniform geographical grid, corresponding to a 180 x 144 km region around 87 km, the peak OH emission height. The AMTM operates during the winter months and is programmed to capture OH (3,1) airglow images daily when the solar zenith angle exceeds 98 degrees.
Data collection:
Details of the instrument, design, operation, and data validation for the AMTM can be found in "Pautet, P-D., Taylor, Michael J., Pendleton, W.R., Zhao, Yucheng, Yuan, Tao, Esplin, R., & McLain, D. (2014). Advanced mesospheric temperature mapper for high-latitude airglow studies. Applied Optics, 53 (26), 5934-5943. https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.53.005934".
Data quality:
These intensity maps are ready to use. The data validation of AMTM can be found in "Pautet, P-D., Taylor, Michael J., Pendleton, W.R., Zhao, Yucheng, Yuan, Tao, Esplin, R., & McLain, D. (2014).
