Remote sensing of energetic electron precipitation
Charged particles trapped in Earth's magnetic fields slam or precipitate into the atmosphere during geomagnetic disturbances in the Near-Earth space environment. The particles ionize, excite, and heat the neutral gas, leading to the optical aurora. Below the peak of optical auroral emissions is the ionospheric D-region extending from 70--90 km.

Longitudinal hotspots in the mesospheric OH variations due to energetic electron precipitation [PDF]
Using Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS/Aura) and Medium Energy Proton and Electron Detector (MEPED/POES) observations between 2005–2009, we study the longitudinal response of nighttime mesospheric OH to radiation belt electron precipitation.

Intense Energetic Electron Precipitation Caused by the Self‐Limiting of Space Radiation
Understanding intense electron precipitation is crucial for characterizing radiation belt loss and assessing related impacts on the atmosphere. We investigate the evolution of electron flux during an ensemble of 70 geomagnetic storms, focusing on ...

Investigating energetic electron precipitation through combining ground‐based and balloon observations [PDF]
AbstractA detailed comparison is undertaken of the energetic electron spectra and fluxes of two precipitation events that were observed in 18/19 January 2013. A novel but powerful technique of combining simultaneous ground‐based subionospheric radio wave data and riometer absorption measurements with X‐ray fluxes from a Balloon Array for Relativistic ...
