About

UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED awarded a contract to Keo Scientific Ltd for the purchase of a new all-sky multi-filter airglow imager system to be located at Rothera research station, Antarctica.

The instrument will observe naturally occurring airglow emissions at altitudes of 80–100 km using different filters to image emissions at different altitudes.

The primary purpose is to determine the characteristics of atmospheric gravity waves in the Antarctic middle atmosphere, which appear as light and dark bands in airglow images.

These waves are important for transporting energy and momentum and driving atmospheric circulation, and observations are needed to constrain their representation in global climate models.

The multi-filter system will allow determination of the gravity wave field around Rothera and how it changes with altitude.

The contract value is AUD 118,204.
