The atmospheric sodium daytime abundance was measured for Corvallis, Oregon, using direct absorption of sunlight by atmospheric sodium atoms, as observed with an optical waveguide spectrum analyzer. The disadvantage of the spectrum analyzer is that it can't resolve the sodium D-lines (Its resolving power is 0.5 nm, which is approximately...
