Zeeman effect in atmospheric O<sub>2</sub> measured by ground-based microwave radiometry
In this work we study the Zeeman effect on stratospheric O<sub>2</sub> using ground-based microwave radiometer measurements. The interaction of the Earth magnetic field with the oxygen dipole leads to a splitting of O<sub>2</sub> energy states, which polarizes the emission sp...
