Daytime form of airglow; though probably stronger than the corresponding night-time emission, it is less readily distinguished against the stronger daytime background radiation.  4, record 1, English, - dayglow

Forma diurna de la luz celeste, posiblemente más intensa que la correspondiente emisión nocturna, pero que se distingue con menos facilidad, debido al fondo más intenso de la radiación diurna.  1, record 1, Spanish, - resplandor%20diurno%20de%20la%20b%C3%B3veda%20celeste

A quasi-permanent emission of radiation by the gases of the upper atmosphere distinguishable at night (nightglow) and presumed to occur also during the day (dayglow).  2, record 2, English, - airglow

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Airglow is a chemiluminescence due primarily to the emission of the molecules O2 and N2, the radical OH, and the atoms O and Na. Emissions observed in airglow could arise from three-body atom collisions forming molecules, from two-body reactions between atoms and molecules, or from recombination of ions.  3, record 2, English, - airglow

MOXI - a nadir pointing imager to measure small scale spatial intensity fluctuations in the mesopause airglow, indicative of the presence of gravity waves.  4, record 2, English, - airglow

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Luminescence nocturne. [...] La lumière nocturne n’est pas due essentiellement à la lumière des étoiles, mais à une luminosité propre à l’atmosphère. L’analyse de la lueur nocturne est plus difficile que celle des aurores, car son intensité est beaucoup plus faible.  2, record 3, French, - lumi%C3%A8re%20du%20ciel%20nocturne
