Atmospheric Response to EEP during Geomagnetic Disturbances

Energetic electron precipitation (EEP) is associated with solar activity and space weather plays an important role in the Earth’s polar atmosphere. electrons from radiation belt precipitate into atmosphere during geomagnetic disturbances cause additional ionization rates middle These induced atmospheric lead to formation of radicals ion-molecular reactions at heights mesosphere upper stratosphere reactive compounds odd nitrogen NOy hydrogen HOx groups. are involved catalytic that destroy ozone. In this paper, we present calculation using reconstructed spectra balloon observations; estimation ozone destruction events one-dimensional photochemical radiation-convective models, taking account both parameterization ion chemistry; as well provide density these periods.
