Like its predecessor missions, CHAMP and GRACE, GOCE has not been de- signed for studies of the thermosphere. Nevertheless, the application to thermosphere studies of these earlier missions has resulted in density and wind data sets containing information at unprecedented levels of precision and coverage. The algorithms for pro- cessing the data of these these earlier missions have been adapted for GOCE, and will be presented here. 1.2 Purpose of this document The purpose of this document, according to the project’s Statement of Work, is as follows: “Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBD): This document shall de- scribe into details all the algorithms, methods and models implemented for each Theme. The report shall include also all related data sources, process- ing steps and output data. In particular, the ATBD shall provide a complete description of all the algorithms, methods and models (both theoretical and technical) and corresponding input/output data flows, respectively. In ad- dition, this document shall report a scientific analysis of the results driving to specific development choices and trade-offs for all the algorithms imple- mented for developing the whole suite of target products. Technical consid- erations justifying the selected methodologies shall be also provided.” 7 8 Chapter 2 Overall data flow 2.1 Data processing flow chart Figure 2.1 shows an overview of the data processing. The processing starts with the import, pre-processing and calibration of the data. This results in four main data sources, on which the further processing is based: • Orbit • Attitude • Acceleration • Thruster actuation The processing involves the use of thermosphere models and satellite surface force mod- els, in combination with custom algorithms for the purpose of determining density and wind. This will be described in full detail in the remainder of this document. 2.2 Input products The following sections describe the origin of the GOCE input products that are used in the algorithms. 2.2.1 EGG CCD (common-mode accelerations) Common-mode acceleration measurements from the gradiometer instrument are used. The so-called sensitive pairs are used for each gradiometer axis. This data is obtained from the TU Delft HPF system, but is also readily available to GOCE users via the goce.esa.int website. 9 GOCE L1B and GOCE thruster L2 data actuation data Pre-processing and calibration Thruster Orbit Attitude Acceleration actuation Radiation Empirical density Empirical wind pressure model model evaluation model evaluation evaluation Modelled Modelled radiation composition, Modelled wind pressure temperature accelerations Compute initial Remove non- relative velocity aerodynamic accelerations Relative velocity Observed in SBF frame aerodynamic acceleration Aerodynamic Density and wind model evaluation processing Modelled density Density data Wind data Figure 2.1 Overview of the data processing in a single flow chart. Final and interme- diate data products are shown in yellow boxes. Standard data processing steps are blue, the use of thermosphere models is shown in green and the use of non-gravitational force models in brown. 10 2.2.2 EGG IAQ (attitude quaternions) Reconstructed attitude quaternion from the star cameras and gradiometer instrument are obtained from the TU Delft HPF system. This data is also readily available to GOCE users via the goce.esa.int website. 2.2.3 SST PSO (precise science orbits) The precise science orbit ephemeris is based on GPS satellite-to-satellite tracking data. It is obtained from the TU Delft HPF system, but is also readily available to GOCE users via the goce.esa.int website. 2.2.4 AUX NOM (ion engine thrust levels) The ion engine thrust level data is provided directly to the project team’s FTP site by ESA. The data come in XML files, which are parsed so that only a text file with a timeseries of 2.2.5 GOCE mass The GOCE mass as a function of time is available in a file named GOCE-Mass-Properties- COG-data.GOC, available for download from the goce.esa.int website. 2.3 Space environment models The NRTDM software incorporates several external models for the space environment. The following such models are applied in the GOCE data processing: • NRLMSISE-00 for atmospheric composition and temperature • HWM07 for in-track winds • Planetary ephemerides DE405 • Solar radiation pressure environment model (eclipse, varying Sun-Earth distance) from the ANGARA phase 2 code • Earth radiation pressure environment (Earth albedo and IR fluxes at the spacecraft) model adapted from the ANGARA phase 2 code 2.3.1 NRLMSISE-00 The NRLMSISE-00 model is the latest iteration of the MSIS series of models [Hedin et al., 1977a,b, 1979, Hedin, 1983, 1987, 1991] developed at NASA’s

In this paper, we try to systematically compare the merits of potential observatory sites. We include South Pole, Domes A, C and F, and also Ridge B (running NE from Dome A), and what we call `Ridge A' (running SW from Dome A). Our analysis combines satellite data, published results and atmospheric models, to compare the boundary layer, weather, aurorae, airglow, precipitable water vapour, thermal sky emission, surface temperature, and the free atmosphere, at each site. We ¯nd that all Antarctic sites are likely to be compromised for optical work by airglow and aurorae. Of the sites with existing bases, Dome A is easily the best overall; but we ¯nd that Ridge A o®ers an even better site.

  • Response of the Total Electron Content at Brazilian Low Latitudes to Corotating Interaction Region and High‑Speed Streams During Solar Minimum 2008 Claudia M
    Candido et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2018) 70:104 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-018-0875-8 FULL PAPER Open Access Response of the total electron content at Brazilian low latitudes to corotating interaction region and high‑speed streams during solar minimum 2008 Claudia M. N. Candido1,2*, Inez S. Batista2, Virginia Klausner3, Patricia M. de Siqueira Negreti2, Fabio Becker‑Guedes2, Eurico R. de Paula2, Jiankui Shi1 and Emilia S. Correia2,4 Abstract In this work, we investigate the Brazilian low-latitude ionospheric response to two corotating interaction regions (CIRs) and high-speed streams (HSSs) events during the solar minimum of solar cycle 23, in 2008. The studied inter‑ vals are enclosed in the whole heliospheric interval, studied by other authors, for distinct longitudinal sectors. CIRs/ HSSs are structures commonly observed during the descending and low solar activity, and they are related to the occurrence of coronal holes. These events cause weak-to-moderate recurrent geomagnetic storms characterized by negative excursions of the interplanetary magnetic feld, IMF_Bz, as well as long-duration auroral activity, consid‑ ered as a favorable scenario for continuous prompt penetration interplanetary electric feld (PPEF). In this study, we used the vertical total electron content (VTEC) calculated from GPS receivers database from the Brazilian Continu‑ ous Monitoring Network managed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Moreover, we analyzed the F-layer peak height, hmF2 and the critical plasma frequency, foF2, taken from a Digisonde installed at the southern crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly, in Cachoeira Paulista, CP. It was observed that during the CIRs/HSSs-driven geomagnetic disturbances VTEC increased more than 120% over the quiet times averaged values, which is compa‑ rable to intense geomagnetic storms.

  • Solar and Geomagnetic Activity During March 1989 and Later Honths and Their Consequences at Earth and in Near-Earth Space
    SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY DURING MARCH 1989 AND LATER HONTHS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES AT EARTH AND IN NEAR-EARTH SPACE J. H. Allen (NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC) Spacecraft Charging Technology Conference Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California October 31-November 3, 1989 ABSTRACT From 6-20 March 1989 the large, complex sunspot group Region 5395 rotated across the visible disc of the Sun producing many large flares that bombdrded Earth with a variety of intense radiation although the energetic particle spectra were unusually "soft". Aurorae were observed worldwide at low latitudes. On 13/14 March a "Great" magnetic storm occurred for which Ap* = 279 and AA* = 450. By both measures, this event rates among the largest historical magnetic storms. Geostationary sate1 1 i tes became interpl anetary monitors when the magnetopause moved earthward of 6.5 Re. Ionospheric condi- ticns were extremely disturbed, affecting hf through X-band comnunications and the operation of satellites used for surveys and navigation. At lower altitudes there were problems with satellite drag and due to the large mag- netic field changes associated with field-a1 igned current sheets. We are seeking reports of satellite anomalies at all altitudes. Reports also have been received about effects of these Sol ar-Terrestria1 di sturbances on other technology at Earth and in near-Earth space. This presentation draws heavily on material in a shorter, summary paper "iri prgss" for "EOS" (Allen, et. al., 1989). Recent major solar activity since the abstract. was submitted happened in mid-August, late September, and mid-October 1989. These events and their consequences at Earth and in Space are covered briefly.

However, ground-based observations are not well-distributed. There is a lack of observations over sparsely populated areas and vast oceans, where the accuracy of TEC derivation is reduced. Additionally, the modified dip (modip) latitude is more suitable than geomagnetic latitude for the ionosphere. This paper investigates the improvement of global TEC with multi-source data and modip latitude, and a simulation with International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model is developed. Compared with using ground-based observations in geomagnetic latitude, the mean improvement was about 10.88% after the addition of space-based observations and the adoption Citation: Fu, W.; Ma, G.; Lu, W.; of modip latitude.

  • Spatial and Seasonal Effects on the Delayed Ionospheric Response to Solar EUV Changes
    Spatial and seasonal effects on the delayed ionospheric response to solar EUV changes Erik Schmölter1, Jens Berdermann1, Norbert Jakowski1, and Christoph Jacobi2 1German Aerospace Center, Kalkhorstweg 53, 17235 Neustrelitz, Germany 2Leipzig Institute for Meteorology, Universität Leipzig, Stephanstr. 3, 04103 Leipzig, Germany Correspondence: Erik Schmölter ([email protected]) Abstract. This study correlates different ionospheric parameters with the integrated solar EUV radiation to analyze the delayed ionospheric response, testing and improving upon previous studies on the ionospheric delay. Several time series of correlation coefficients and delays are presented to characterize the trend of the ionospheric delay from January 2011 to December 2013. The impact of the diurnal variations of ionospheric parameters in the analysis at an hourly resolution for fixed locations are 5 discussed and specified with calculations in different time scales and with comparison to solar and geomagnetic activity. An average delay for TEC of ≈ 18:7 hours and for foF2 of ≈ 18:6 hours is calculated at four European stations. The difference between northern and southern hemisphere is analyzed by comparisons with the Australian region. A seasonal variation of the delay between northern and southern hemisphere is calculated for TEC with ≈ 5 ± 0:7 hours and foF2 with ≈ 8 ± 0:8 hours. The latitudinal and longitudinal variability of the delay is analyzed for the European region, and found to be characterized by 10 a decrease in the delay from ≈ 21:5 hours at 30◦N to ≈ 19:0 hours at 70◦N for summer months. For winter months, a roughly constant delay of ≈ 19:5 hours is calculated. The results based on solar and ionospheric data at hourly resolution and the analysis of the delayed ionospheric response to solar EUV show the seasonal and latitudinal variations.

  • Prediction of Geomagnetically Induced Currents
    Ebihara et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2021) 73:163 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-021-01493-2 TECHNICAL REPORT Open Access Prediction of geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) fowing in Japanese power grid for Carrington-class magnetic storms Yusuke Ebihara1* , Shinichi Watari2 and Sandeep Kumar3 Abstract Large-amplitude geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are the natural consequences of the solar–terrestrial con- nection triggered by solar eruptions. The threat of severe damage of power grids due to the GICs is a major concern, in particular, at high latitudes, but is not well understood as for low-latitude power grids. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the lower limit of the GICs that could fow in the Japanese power grid against a Carrington-class severe magnetic storm. On the basis of the geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) observed at Colaba, India, during the Car- rington event in 1859, we calculated the geoelectric disturbances (GEDs) by a convolution theory, and calculated GICs fowing through transformers at 3 substations in the Japanese extra-high-voltage (500-kV) power grid by a linear combination of the GEDs. The estimated GEDs could reach ~ 2.5 V/km at Kakioka, and the GICs could reach, at least, 89 30 A near the storm maximum. These values are several times larger than those estimated for the 13–14 March 1989± storm (in which power blackout occurred in Canada), and the 29–31 October 2003 storm (in which power blackout occurred in Sweden). The GICs estimated here are the lower limits, and there is a probability of stronger GICs at other substations.
