Auroral Effect on Mid‐Latitude Ionospheric Disturbances Over Europe During the Extreme Geomagnetic Storm of 10 May 2024

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Large ionospheric disturbances were observed over Europe during the extreme geomagnetic storm on 10 May 2024. This study analyzes GNSS‐derived total electron content (TEC) and all‐sky imager data to investigate these disturbances. Pronounced TEC enhancements, irregularities, and strong gradients were confined to the auroral region above the ...

PALACE v1.0: Paranal Airglow Line And Continuum Emission model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Below about 2.3 µm, the nighttime emission of the Earth's atmosphere is dominated by non-thermal radiation. Excluding aurorae, the emission is caused by chemical reaction chains that are driven by the daytime photolysis and photoionisation of ...

Optimizing HAARP Beam Pattern for Generation of Strong F‐Region Field‐Aligned Irregularities

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Field‐aligned irregularities (FAIs) are the signatures of plasma turbulence and convection in the mid‐ and high‐latitude F‐region ionosphere, and also provide coherent backscatter targets for HF radars. To serve irregularity generation and characterization studies, we conducted experiments at the High‐frequency Active Auroral Research Program (

Seasonal and interannual variations in the [OI] 630 nm atmospheric emission as derived from observations over Eastern Siberia in 2011–2017

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2018
Seasonal and interannual variations in the [OI] 630 nm atmospheric emission are studied from observations of airglow in Eastern Siberia. Among features of seasonal variation in this emission are a pronounced summer maximum, an autumn minimum, and a ...

Airglow and Aurorae at Dome A, Antarctica [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2012
Despite the absence of artificial light pollution at Antarctic plateau sites such as Dome A, other factors such as airglow, aurorae, and extended periods of twilight have the potential to adversely affect optical observations. We present a statistical analysis of the airglow and aurorae at Dome A using spectroscopic data from Nigel, an optical/near-IR ...

QEUV vs. Other EUV Proxies: A Re‐Evaluation of Solar EUV Proxies for Thermospheric and Space Weather Investigations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract F10.7, Mg II, and F30 are widely used proxies for variability in solar Extreme UltraViolet (EUV, 5–120 nm) irradiance. An alternative proxy for solar EUV variability is QEUV, an indirect measure of total solar EUV irradiance, retrieved from observations of Earth's Far UltraViolet (FUV, 120–300 nm) airglow and from empirically modeled solar EUV

Introduction to TREx‐ATM V2.0: A Versatile Model of Auroral Transport and Its Effects in the Ionosphere

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Auroral transport models (ATMs) play an important role in quantitative studies of optical auroras, their driving mechanisms, and their effects on the ionosphere and thermosphere. TREx‐ATM was initially developed as the support model for the Transition Region Explorer (TREx) mission, and has gained increasing applications in the community in ...

Global Observational Comparison of Large‐Scale Traveling Atmospheric and Ionospheric Disturbances During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract During the geomagnetic storm on 10 May 2024, neutral density measurements from 14 Tianmu, Swarm, and GRACE‐FO satellites at ∼510 km altitude, combined with total electron content (TEC) observations, enabled the first global observational comparison of large‐scale traveling atmospheric and ionospheric disturbances (LSTADs/TIDs) via snapshots ...

Green Emissions of Atomic Oxygen at Sprite Tops Explained

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Green emissions from excited Oxygen in Sprite Tops (GhOSTs) are due to the 557 nm photons emitted from atomic oxygen (O) $(\mathrm{O})$ excited to the 1S state. In this work we compare the possible contribution of various mechanisms for excitation of O(S1) $\mathrm{O}({}^{1}S)$ under application of a lightning‐induced electric field to the ...

Daily Variability in the Terrestrial UV Airglow

Atmosphere, 2020
New capability for observing conditions in the upper atmosphere comes with the implementation of global ultraviolet (UV) imaging from geosynchronous orbit. Observed by the NASA GOLD mission, the emissions of atomic oxygen (OI) and molecular nitrogen (N2)
