Atmospheric ultraviolet light and comparison of its intensity with the variation of electron flux with energies higher than 70 keV in satellite orbit (according to Universitetskii-Tatiana satellite data)

The ultraviolet radiation of the night atmosphere and electron fluxes with energies higher than 70 keV are measured simultaneously onboard the satellite Universitetskii-Tatiana. It has been revealed that the mean intensity of ultra-violet radiation increases and this could be due to electron acceler...

Description
Summary:The ultraviolet radiation of the night atmosphere and electron fluxes with energies higher than 70 keV are measured simultaneously onboard the satellite Universitetskii-Tatiana. It has been revealed that the mean intensity of ultra-violet radiation increases and this could be due to electron acceleration in atmospheric electric discharges with further capture by the geomagnetic field and electron precipitation in conjugated points of the geomagnetic field.
