Abstract This paper mainly aims at evaluating capabilities of derivation of ionospheric conductivities using two principal auroral emissions (427.8 and 630 nm). We have evaluated a photometric method of derivation of ionospheric conductivities based on simultaneous observations of a photometer (fiel...
