The complex nature of magnetospheric processes cause a wide range of dynamic variations in the auroral zone, which are difficult to forecast. Knowledge of electron concentrations in this highly turbulent region is of particular importance because it determines the propagation conditions for the radio waves. In this work we introduce the numerical model of the auroral E-region, which evaluates density variations of the 10 ionospheric species and 39 reactions initiated by both the solar extreme UV radiation and the magnetospheric electron precipitation. The chemical reaction rates differ in more than ten orders of magnitude, resulting in the high stiffness of the ordinary differential equations system considered, which was solved using the high-performance Gear method. The AIM-E model allowed us to calculate the concentration of the neutrals NO, N(4S), and N(2D), ions + + + + + 4 + 2 + 2 N ,N2 , NO ,O2 ,O ( S), O ( D), and O ( P), and electrons Ne, in the whole auroral zone in the Citation: Nikolaeva, V.; Gordeev, E.; 90-150 km altitude range in real time.

The calculation of the index is modeled on the calculation of the Northern Hemi- sphere auroral electrojet index AE and is thus called the AES- 80 index. The AE index was developed to monitor geomagnetic activity at auroral zone latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere (Davis and Sugiura 1966) and indicates the level of auroral electrojet currents and in particular the occurrence of sub- storms (Baumjohann 1986). It is calculated as the difference between the upper (AU) and the lower (AL) envelope of mag- netograms from 12 observatories located at northern geomag- netic latitudes between 60° and 70° and rather uniformly distributed over all longitudes. Because of the land mass dis- tribution in Antarctica, it is impossible to have ground obser- vatories located uniformly at geomagnetic latitudes between 60° and 70°S (see figure 1). Unlike in the Northern Hemisphere, Figure 1. Map of Antarctica, with the stations used to calculate the however, it is possible in Antarctica to have reasonable ground AES-80 index shown as filled circles.

  • UPPER ATMOSPHERE RESEARCH at INPE B.R. Clbmesha Department of Geophysics and Aeronomy Instituto De Pesquisas Espaciais
    UPPER ATMOSPHERE RESEARCH AT INPE B.R. CLbMESHA Department of Geophysics and Aeronomy Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais - INPE ABSTRACT Upper atmosphere research at INPE is mainly concerned with the chemistry and dynamics of the stratosphere, upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere, and the middle thermo- sphere. Experimental work includes lidar observations of the stratospheric aerosol, measurements of stratospheric ozone by Dobson spectrophotometers and by balloon and rocket-borne sondes, lidar measurements of atmospheric sodium, and photom- etric observations of 0, 02 , OH and Na emissions, including interferometric measurements of the 016300 emission for the purpose of determining thermospheric winds and temperature. The airglow observations also include measurements of a number of emissions produced by the precipitation of ener- getic neutral particles generated by charge exchange in the ring current. Some recent results of INPE's upper atmosphere program are presented.ii» this paper. ' ' n/ .71. 1- INTRODUCTION INPK maintains an active program of research into a number of aspects of upper atmosphere science, including both experimental and theoretical studies of the dynamics and chemistry of the stratosphere, mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Hxperimental work involves mainly ground-based optical techniques, although balloon and rocket-borne sondes are used for studies of stratospheric ozone, and a rocket-borne photometer payload is under development for measurements of a number of emissions from the thermosphere. Theoretical studies include numerical model- ling with special reference to a number of minor constituents related to the experimental measurements. In the following sec- tions we present a brief description of INPE's experimental fa- cilities in the area of upper atmosphere science, and outline some recent results.

The Aeronomy Laboratory carries out reference to their chemical composition, physical fundamental research on the chemical, dynam- properties, relative motion, and responses to ical, and radiative processes of the Earth's at- radiation from space. mosphere to improve the capability to ob- serve, understand, and predict its behavior. In addition to helping improve the fundamental understanding of the atmosphere, the Aeronomy Laboratory also assists our scientific community in their periodic taking stock of the current state of understanding and in their description of this understanding in "user-friendly" terms to those who use this scientific information. Sections II – IV of this summary describe, in more detail, the Laboratory's research – its rationale, approach, accomplishments, payoffs, and plans – all in the context of the environmental issues of today. The research approaches used: Integrated laboratory, field, and theoretical studies. The Laboratory's research involves: • investigations under controlled conditions in the laboratory, • field measurements in a variety of environments (both in a campaign mode and via regular observations), and • regional and global theoretical modeling. A hallmark of the Laboratory is the integration of these three endeavors to build a better predic- tive understanding. Laboratory investigations characterize fundamental properties of chemical reactions, which are needed by predictive models and are also a test bed for the development of new analytical techniques.

  • Meteorology, Climatology, and Geography
    Meteorology Unit 1 - Meteorology 1.1.Introduction to meteorology The earth is surrounded by a large envelope of gases called atmosphere. The condition of the atmosphere and the changes it undergoes influence all physical, chemical and biological activities over the earth. The study pertaining to lower atmosphere and its changes is called atmosphere physics or meteorology. In modern usage, meteorology denotes the science of weather and includes the study of atmospheric phenomena. Definition Meteorology can be defined as the science that deals with the study of the atmosphere. 1.2.Divisions of Meteorology • Marine meteorology: Meteorology pertaining to the sea and ocean is called marine meteorology. • Aeronomy: The science of aeronomy investigates both the chemical and physical properties of the atmosphere and the changes that occur in these as the result of external and internal forces. • Bio-meteorology: The scientific study of the interactions between living organisms and their atmospheric environment called biometeorology. 1.3.Structure of the atmosphere The atmosphere falls into several concentric spheres on the basis of temperature (Fig) as follows: • Troposphere • Stratosphere • Mesosphere • Thermosphere • Exosphere 1.3.1. Troposphere From surface towards upwards temperature decreases with altitude. This region is called troposphere. The decrease ceases at the tropopause, at a height of nearly 18km over the equator and roughly 8km over the poles. The temperature at the tropopause is of the order of -80˚C over the equator and around -56˚C over the poles. The height as well as temperature of the tropopause varies with the seasons and weather situation, the lowest values occurring during the winter.
