Scientific paper

The Turbulent Oxygen Mixing Experiment (TOMEX) consisted of a rocket launch from the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico combined with sodium lidar measurements from the Starfire Optical Range in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The rocket payload included instrumentation to measure oxygen and OH airglow using zenith-looking photometers, neutral gas fluctuations using an ionization gauge, and winds using releases of tri-methyl aluminum (TMA). The measurements were conducted over the altitude range of 90-140 km. Reported here are the first results from the ionization gauge. Several pockets of enhanced fluctuations were observed. The profiles are presented and are interpreted in terms of the ambient temperature and wind conditions as measured by the lidar and TMA trails.
