Auroral data analysis
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7082749
During the previous year four papers have been published in refereed journals. In addition one more is accepted for publication and three more are in the refereeing process. Each deals with effects produced by auroral particles on the ionosphere and atmosphere and in turn how the dynamics of auroral particles are influenced by terrestrial and interplanetary magnetic activity. In particular, a framework has been laid that relates the equatorward edge of auroral particle precipitation to the IMF Bz component and substorm activity. Work is at present being carried on that both qualitatively and quantitatively relates the equatorward edge of the trough to the 6300 A optical emission and electron fluxes observed by ISIS 2. Utilization of electron fluxes as the common link is hoped to result in an empirical relation between the poleward trough wall and influences that modify its position.
