Auroral boundary correlations between UVI and DMSP
[1] Equatorward and poleward auroral boundaries from latitude profiles of Polar Ultraviolet Imager (UVI) auroral images were correlated with over 23,000 boundaries derived from 2 years of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) electron precipitation data. Latitude differences between DMSP and UVI boundaries were averaged into 1-hour and 3-hour sectors of magnetic local time (MLT). The ...
متن کاملThe Chemical Effects of Auroral Oxygen Precipitation
Energetic oxygen precipitation is one possible explanation for the auroral molecular hydrogen emissions observed by the Voyager ultraviolet spectrometer. These ions deposit their energy in the Jovian thermosphere by means of ionization, dissociation, excitation, and heating processes. The photochemistry of both the neutral gas and the ionosphere is altered by the influx of atomic oxygen. The au...
متن کاملElectron and proton aurora observed spectroscopically in the far ultraviolet
[1] The only way to get a global, instantaneous picture of the energetic particle input over the auroral oval is through spectral imaging. The major driver of auroral emissions in the high-latitude ionosphere is overall electron precipitation. However, for certain locations and times, such as the equatorial edge of the evening auroral oval, proton precipitation can be the major energy source an...
متن کاملComparison of SuperDARN radar boundaries with DMSP particle precipitation boundaries
[1] Auroral boundary algorithms for SuperDARN ionospheric convection observations are introduced. Both the equatorward boundary of scatter (EBS) and the convection reversal boundary (CRB) are found and compared with boundaries based on DMSP particle precipitation observations. These comparisons provide an intercalibration between the two schemes and insight into the relationship between dispara...
متن کاملAuroral streamers and magnetic flux closure
[1] On 7 December 2000 at 2200 UT an auroral streamer was observed to develop above Scandinavia with the IMAGE-FUV global imagers. The ionospheric equivalent current deduced from the MIRACLE-IMAGE Scandinavian ground-based network of magnetometers is typical of a substorm-time streamer. Observations of the proton aurora using the SI12 imager onboard the IMAGE satellite are combined with measure...
