Nightside Detection of a Large‐Scale Thermospheric Wave Generated by a Solar Eclipse
The generation of a large‐scale wave in the upper atmosphere caused by a solar eclipse was first predicted in the 1970s, but the experimental evidence remains sparse and comprises mostly indirect observations. This study presents observations of the wind

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
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 ...

Abstract Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) is a nightsky optical phenomenon of great research interest in recent years. STEVE is recognized to be co‐located with a latitudinally narrow channel of fast westward ion drifts, also known as “subauroral ion drifts” (SAID).

Within substorm activations during two superstorms (2000 and 2003) from the observations at mid-latitude geomagnetic observatories, we study short-period irregular geomagnetic pulsations and airglow in the 557.7 nm and 630.0 nm atomic oxygen emission ...

Nitrogen oxides and the airglow
The chemospheric processes lead to various possibilities for description of the contribution of nitrogen oxides in the airglow. An excitation of the Vegard-Kaplan system is indicated when nitric oxide is formed by a three-body collision process involving

In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using satellite airglow limb tomography to study spatial structures in the airglow emissions of the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere.

Airglow Information and Ionospheric Processes [PDF]
308-323A brief analysis on the airglow as an indicator of the ionospheric processes is made. Ionospheric-magnetospheric interaction and interrelation between neutral and ionizing components are examine.
