Modelling of auroral electrodynamical processes: Magnetosphere to mesosphere. Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6587889

Research conducted on auroral electrodynamic coupling between the magnetosphere and ionosphere-atmosphere in support of the development of a global scale kinetic plasma theory is reviewed. Topics covered include electric potential structure in the evening sector, morning and dayside auroras, auroral plasma formation, electrodynamic coupling with the thermosphere, and auroral electron interaction with the atmosphere.
