Mesospheric Ozone Depletion Depending on Different Levels of Geomagnetic Disturbances and Seasons
Atmosphere, 2023 Energetic electron precipitation (EEP) into the atmosphere are considered to play an important role in the natural forcing of the ozone variability and dynamics of the middle atmosphere during magnetospheric and geomagnetic disturbances.

Effects of energetic electron precipitation on the northern wintertime atmosphere [PDF]
, 2022 This thesis studies the effect of energetic electron precipitation (EEP) on the Earth’s atmosphere, focusing on the northern wintertime stratosphere. EEP is driven by the interaction between the Earth’s magnetosphere and solar wind, a plasma stream from ...

Comparing the effects of solar-related and terrestrial drivers on the northern polar vortex
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2020 Northern polar vortex experiences significant variability during Arctic winter. Solar activity contributes to this variability via solar irradiance and energetic particle precipitation. Recent studies have found that energetic electron precipitation (EEP)

Improving ionospheric predictability requires accurate simulation of the mesospheric polar vortex
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The mesospheric polar vortex (MPV) plays a critical role in coupling the atmosphere-ionosphere system, so its accurate simulation is imperative for robust predictions of the thermosphere and ionosphere.

Determining Latitudinal Extent of Energetic Electron Precipitation Using MEPED On-Board NOAA/POES [PDF]
, 2022 Energetic Electron Precipitation (EEP) from the plasma sheet and the radiation belts ionizes the polar lower thermosphere and mesosphere. EEP increases the production of NOx and HOx, which will catalytically destroy ozone, an important element of ...

Energetic outer radiation belt electron precipitation during recurrent solar activity [PDF]
, 2010 Transmissions from three U.S. VLF (very low frequency) transmitters were received at Churchill, Canada, during an event study in May to November, 2007. This period spans four cycles of recurrent geomagnetic activity spaced similar to 27 days apart, with ...

Substorm-induced energetic electron precipitation:impact on atmospheric chemistry [PDF]
, 2015 Magnetospheric substorms drive energetic electron precipitation into the Earth's atmosphere. We use the output from a substorm model to describe electron precipitation forcing of the atmosphere during an active substorm period in April–May 2007.

The effect of energetic electron precipitation on middle mesospheric night-time ozone during and after a moderate geomagnetic storm [PDF]
, 2012 Using a ground-based microwave radiometer at Troll Station, Antarctica (72°S, 2.5°E, L = 4.76), we have observed a decrease of 20–70% in the mesospheric ozone, coincident with increased nitric oxide, between 60 km and 75 km altitude associated with ...
