This book was released on 1981 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we show that the linear transport equation may be solved exactly for the primary auroral electron flux in plane-parallel geometry in the forward scattering and average, discrete, energy-loss approximations. In this approximation inelastic scattering is taken into account but elastic scattering drops out and the solution is an approximation to the flux in the downward hemisphere. Using the multiple scattering method, we obtain the solution as a finite sum of analytic functions of altitude, energy, and pitch angle where each term is multiplied by the energy shifted electron flux incident at the top of the auroral ionosphere. Closed form expressions are also found for the hemispherically averaged primary electron flux, the energy deposition rate, and the ionization rate. For a unidirectional incident flux we show that the energy deposition rate is a superposition of generalized Chapman functions of altitude, and for an isotropic incident flux we show that the energy deposition rate is a superposition of generalized J functions of altitude. The notion of pseudoparticles is discussed and used to approximate the sums which occur in the above formulae. We also compare our analytic approximations to some numerical solutions of the problem.

Download or read book An Infrared Spectral Radiance Code for the Auroral Thermosphere AARC written by J. R. Winick and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A first principles scientific model for predicting the spectral radiance from the auroral thermosphere seen by an earthlimb observer is described. This model, and the resulting Auroral Atmospheric Radiance Code (AARC), describe the energy deposition in the thermosphere by primary auroral electrons and the ensuing effects. The latter include electron production and production of nonequilibrium concentrations of vibrationally and electronically excited states, by photochemical means, and by energy transfer. Relaxation of the states by collisions and radiation is described, and the transmission of the infrared radiation emitted from these states is treated. Currently, the model considers four radiators: the nitric oxide vibrational fundamental and first overtone at 2.8 and 5.3 micro the NO+ fundamental at 4.3 mirco, and the CO2 asymmetric- stretch (NU -3 mode) emission at 4.3 micro. The prompt optically optically thin emitters (NO and NO+) are treated in terms of stored, precalculated tables of efficiencies (photons per ion-pair).
