DIAGNOSTICS OF EMISSION INTENSITIES AND ELECTRON DENSITY IN AURORAS BASED ON EMPIRICAL PRECIPITATION MODELS
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
We have studied the influence of the precipitating electron spectrum shape on the integral intensity of emissions λ391.4 nm 1NG N⁺₂, λ670.4 mn 1PG N₂, λ337.1 nm 2PG N₂, λ320.0 nm VK N₂, λ127.3 nm LBH N₂, atomic oxygen emissions λ557.7 and λ630.0 nm, total electron content in the vertical column of aurora. The integral characteristics of the emission intensity and the total electron content are shown to weakly depend on the energy spectrum shape and to be determined mainly by average energy values Eev and energy flux value Fᴇ of precipitating electrons. An algorithm is proposed for diagnosing the planetary distribution of emission intensities and total electron content in auroras based on data from empirical electron precipitation models, without making a priori assumptions about the shape of the energy spectrum of precipitating electrons.

ANALYZING EXISTING APPLIED MODELS OF THE IONOSPHERE FOR CALCULATING RADIO WAVE PROPAGATION AND POSSIBILITY OF THEIR USE FOR RADAR SYSTEMS. I. CLASSIFICATION OF APPLIED MODELS AND THE MAIN REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED ON THEM FOR RADAR AIDS
We review modern HF–X band radars covering over-the-horizon problems. The ionosphere significantly affects wave propagation in all the bands. We describe available correction techniques, which use additional evidence on...
MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY DISTRIBUTION FOR LOW POWER NANOFLARES
We propose a method to measure the energy distribution of low-energy flares (nanoflares) in the energy range below 1023 erg. As an example, we measured the spectrum of nanoflares in the 1021–1026 erg range for two Sun’s...
IONOSPHERIC EFFECTS OF TWO SOLAR FLARES IN THE MAXIMUM OF SOLAR CYCLE 23 AND IN THE MINIMUM OF SOLAR CYCLE 24
Using data from the GPS and GLONASS navigation satellite systems, we analyze the responses of the mid-latitude ionosphere to the extreme solar flares that occurred at the maximum of solar cycle 23 (October 28, 2003) and...
