Marsha R. Torr,Douglas G. Torr,Muamer Zukic,R. B. Johnson,J. Ajello,Peter M. Banks,K. Clark,Kelly Stefano Cole,Charles E. Keffer,George K. Parks,Bruce T. Tsurutani,James F. Spann +11 more
TL;DR: The Ultraviolet Imager for the Global Geospace Sciences portion of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics (IGSSP) program as discussed by the authors has been used to image the auroral oval and polar cap.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polar wind
Peter M. Banks,Thomas E. Holzer +1 more
TL;DR: Polar wind, describing upward plasma expansion of topside polar ionosphere and acceleration of positive H and He ions as discussed by the authors, describes upward plasmas expansion of top-side polar ionosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoelectron fluxes in the ionosphere
Andrew F. Nagy,Peter M. Banks +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, fluxes and energy spectra in ionosphere for predawn and sunlit atmospheres, taking into account elastic and inelastic collisions were analyzed. But the authors did not consider the effect of temperature variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of electric fields on the daytime high-latitude E and F regions
TL;DR: In this paper, the coupled continuity, momentum, and energy equations for NO(+, O(+), and O2(+) ions were obtained for conditions appropriate to the daytime high-latitude E and F regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new model for the interaction of auroral electrons with the atmosphere: Spectral degradation, backscatter, optical emission, and ionization
TL;DR: In this paper, a new computational model has been created to describe the interaction of auroral electrons with the atmosphere, which is used to compute energy spectrums, ionization rates, backscatter ratios, and optical emissions associated with different incident electron spectrums.
