Observations of sodium in the tenuous lunar atmosphere

Spectra showing the sodium D lines above the moon's bright limb (subsolar point) were obtained at first and last quarters, May 27 and June 7, 1988. The number density at the surface is 57 + or - 20 atoms/cu cm and the scale height is 79 + or - 8 km, compatible with the temperature of the surfac...
