Summary: | The report describes the development of a code, called ARCTIC, that is suitable for the study and analysis of auroral data. The code inputs a flux spectrum of primary electrons, incident on or in the atmosphere, with a specified magnetic dip angle and initial pitch angle, and computes the detailed energy deposition and partition in the atmosphere. The deposition subroutine is coupled to a chemistry and radiation subroutine with the result that the optical/infrared emission, as functions of altitude and time, are then determined. The code is essentially complete, except for certain refinements, and has been run for the case of a hypothetical class II + aurora. (Author) |
