Empirical model of SSUSI-derived auroral ionization rates

Stefan Bender, Patrick J. Espy, Larry J. Paxton

We present an empirical model for auroral (90--150 km) electron--ion pair production rates, ionization rates for short, derived from SSUSI (Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographi…

Validation of SSUSI-derived auroral electron densities: Comparisons to EISCAT data

Stefan Bender, Patrick J. Espy, Larry J. Paxton

The coupling of the atmosphere to the space environment has become recognized as an important driver of atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. In order to quantify the effects of part…

Mesospheric nitric oxide model from SCIAMACHY data

Stefan Bender, Miriam Sinnhuber, Patrick J. Espy +1

We present an empirical model for nitric oxide NO in the mesosphere (60--90 km) derived from SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartoghra…

SuperDARN Observations of Semidiurnal Tidal Variability in the MLT and the Response to Sudden Stratospheric Warming Events

R. E. Hibbins, P. J. Espy, Y. J. Orsolini +2

Using meteor wind data from the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) in the Northern Hemisphere, we (1) demonstrate that the migrating (Sun-synchronous) tides can be separa…

Planetary wave-like oscillations in the ionosphere retrieved with a longitudinal chain of ionosondes at high northern latitudes

Nora H. Stray, Patrick J. Espy

This paper examines the influence of neutral dynamics on the high latitude ionosphere. Using a longitudinal chain of ionosondes at high northern latitudes (-$65\…

Modelling the descent of nitric oxide during the elevated stratopause event of January 2013

Yvan J. Orsolini, Varavut Limpasuvan, Kristell Pérot +5

Using simulations with a whole-atmosphere chemistry-climate model nudged by meteorological analyses, global satellite observations of nitrogen oxide (NO) and water vapour by the Su…
