Investigation of the drivers and atmospheric impacts of energetic electron precipitation

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
The drivers and atmospheric impacts of energetic electron precipitation are not yet well understood. Further, electron precipitation is often poorly represented in atmospheric modeling.

Energetic electron precipitation into the atmosphere

open access: yes, 2020
This chapter provides an overview of the impact of energetic electron precipitation from the aurora and the radiation belts on the composition, radiative balance, and dynamics of the Earth's atmosphere, from the lower thermosphere down to the surface. The primary processes related to atmospheric ionization and subsequent collision reactions that lead ...

Dependence of Energetic Electron Precipitation on the Geomagnetic Index Kp and Electron Energy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2013
It has long been known that the magnetospheric particles can precipitate into the atmosphere of the Earth. In this paper we examine such precipitation of energetic electrons using the data obtained from low-altitude polar orbiting satellite ...

Response of the total ozone to energetic electron precipitation events [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2018
Abstract In this paper we investigate response of the total ozone column to energetic electron precipitation (EEP) observed by bremsstrahlung effect. The list of EEP events was prepared by members of the balloon experiments of the Lebedev Physical Institute.

Modelling the impact of energetic electrons on electron-acoustic instabilities and HF/UHF wave propagation in the ionospheric-like plasmas [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Recent studies reveal that ionospheric irregularities remain poorly understood due to the lack of models and observations capable of explaining the characteristics of the observed wave structures.

Energetic Electron Precipitation via Satellite and Balloon Observations: Their Role in Atmospheric Ionization

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Information about the energetic electron precipitation (EEP) from the radiation belt into the atmosphere is important for assessing the ozone variability and dynamics of the middle atmosphere during magnetospheric and geomagnetic disturbances.

Seasonal dependence of energetic electron precipitation: Evidence for a global role of lightning [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2009
Analysis of the DEMETER spacecraft particle data shows that energetic electron precipitation exhibits a seasonal dependence consistent with lighting‐induced electron precipitation (LEP). Over the United States, energetic electron fluxes in the slot region (between L = 2 and 3) are significantly higher in the northern summer than in the winter ...

Ionization in the Earth’s Atmosphere Due to Isotropic Energetic Electron Precipitation: Ion Production and Primary Electron Spectra

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Energetic electron precipitation (EEP) via atmospheric ion production rates is a natural force acting on the atmosphere and climate systems. The correct estimation of EEP ion production and spectra for the computation of ionization rates is an important ...

Exceptional middle latitude electron precipitation detected by balloon observations: implications for atmospheric composition [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
Energetic particle precipitation leads to ionization in the Earth's atmosphere, initiating the formation of active chemical species which destroy ozone and have the potential to impact atmospheric composition and dynamics down to the troposphere.
