ESTIMATED NITRIC OXIDE DENSITY IN AURORAS FROM GROUND-BASED PHOTOMETRIC DATA
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, we numerically estimate the nitric oxide density in auroras, using photometric data on 427.8, 557.7, and 630.0 nm emission intensities. The data were obtained at midnight at observatories of the Polar Geophysical Institute. These estimates were made using a numerical modeling procedure with a time-dependent model of the auroral ionosphere [Dashkevich et al., 2017]. It is shown that the NO density in the maximum of the altitude profile is between (1÷3.3)∙10^8 cm–3. The obtained estimates indicate the absence of a correlation between the [NO]max values and 427.8 nm emission intensities.

STRUCTURE OF GROUPS OF EIGENFREQUENCIES IN SPECTRA OF GEOMAGNETIC PULSATIONS IN THE NIGHTSIDE MAGNETOSPHERE
Using a new method of correlation function for amplitude and phase fluctuations (APCF), records of geomagnetic field component fluctuations (observatories Mondy and Borok) have been processed for a number of hour zones o...
THE PROCESSES OF ENERGY RELEASE IN LOW-POWER SOLAR FLARES
Using flare patrol data for 1972–2010 [http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/space-weather/solar-data/solar-features/solar-flares/], we have conducted statistical studies of small solar flares. We have established a correlation b...
CONDITIONS FOR ARRIVAL OF SOLAR ENERGETIC PROTONS IN EARTH AFTER STRONG SOLAR FLARES
We analyze the Sun-to-Earth transport of energetic protons accelerated in solar flares. We use a model which assumes that protons move earthward in the Parker electromagnetic field. In this model, protons are shown to be...
The atmosphere below 200 km over Norilsk at solar minimum and maximum
We have obtained seasonal variations in relative values of the main thermospheric gas components [O]/[N₂] and [O₂]/[O] during solar maximum. We have used our method and measurements made with the Norilsk digisonde (69.4°...
FEATURES OF THE INITIAL STAGE OF FORMATION OF FAST CORONAL MASS EJECTION ON FEBRUARY 25, 2014
We have analyzed the fast coronal mass ejection (CME) that occurred on February 25, 2014. The analysis is based on images taken in the 131, 211, 304, and 1700 Å UV channels of the SDO/AIA instrument and from observations...
