Enhancement of thermospheric mass density by soft electron precipitation
[1] Enhancements in F-region electron density and temperature and bottomside Pedersen conductivity caused by soft electron precipitation are shown to enhance the Joule heating per unit mass and the mass density of the thermosphere at F-region altitudes. The results are derived from the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere model (CMIT) including two types of causally specified soft elec...
متن کاملElectron-Phonon Mass Enhancement in Multi-Layers
A strong electron-phonon interaction in a metal increases the electron density of states in the vicinity of the Fermi energy dramatically. This phenomenon is called electron-phonon mass enhancement. In this paper the question is investigated whether the mass enhancement can be manipulated in multi-layers of two metals with strong and weak electron-phonon interaction. A rich behavior is observed...
متن کاملInvestigation of energy transport and thermospheric upwelling during quiet magnetospheric and ionospheric conditions from the studies of low- and middle-altitude cusp
We investigate energy fluxes and small, kilometrescale Birkeland currents in the magnetospheric cusp at a 1– 3 Earth radii altitude and in the ionosphere using satellites when they were, according to the Tsyganenko model, in magnetic conjunction within 50–60 km and up to 15 min apart. We use Cluster and CHAMP satellites, and study three conjunction events that occurred in 2008 and 2009, when th...
متن کاملUnusual electron density profiles observed by Cassini radio occultations in Titans ionosphere: Effects of enhanced magnetospheric electron precipitation?
[1] The Cassini radio science facility provided 13 occultation electron density profiles of Titan during the period of 2006 and 2009. This paper presents the results of all of these occultation observations. It shows that ten of the observed electron density profiles are similar, but three are significantly different. The number of observations is relatively small for meaningful statistical con...
متن کاملProton-electron precipitation eects on the electron production and density above EISCAT (Tromsù) and ESR
The suprathermal particles, electrons and protons, coming from the Sun and precipitating into the high-latitude atmosphere are an energy source for the Earth's ionosphere. They interact with the ambient thermal gas through inelastic and elastic collisions. Most of the physical quantities perturbed by the precipitation, such as the electron production rate, may be evaluated by solving the statio...
