Thermospheric aurora and airglow
Journal Article
·
· Rev. Geophys. Space Phys.; (United States)
New information added in the years between 1983 and 1986 to the understanding of the physics and chemistry responsible for the production of aurora and airglow emissions is presented. On auroras, the bulk of new information comes from the information obtained from satellite-based imaging (by DE1) and spectroscopy, rocket-based observations of bremsstrahlung from electrons precipitating in the auroral zone, and measurements of metastable ion species. On airglow, the DE1 photometric experiment has provided the opportunity of studying the geocorona on a global scale. A geotail was detected in the antisolar direction, confirming earlier observations. 123 references.
