Scientific paper

Space-based remote sensing of the N2 Lyman-Birge-Hopfield (LBH) band emissions provides valuable insight about the Earth's environment. In this study we investigate the ability of the cascade model to reproduce the LBH limb profiles, by comparing model calculations with observations from the High resolution Ionospheric and Thermospheric Spectrograph (HITS) aboard the Advanced Research and Global Observation Satellite (ARGOS). Also, we examine how the different models existing to infer the LBH emissions match in different altitude regions. While most models only take direct excitation into account, the cascade code also includes radiative and collisional cascade contributions.
