Visible and Infrared Radiations from the Atmosphere Accompanying PCA Events

To optimize use of solar proton events that produce Polar Cap Absorption (PCA) for understanding the chemical and dynamical behavior of the artificially-disturbed atmosphere, past PCA optical/infrared results are analyzed and intensity (and excitation temperature) of chemiluminous, photolytic, and f...

Description
Summary:To optimize use of solar proton events that produce Polar Cap Absorption (PCA) for understanding the chemical and dynamical behavior of the artificially-disturbed atmosphere, past PCA optical/infrared results are analyzed and intensity (and excitation temperature) of chemiluminous, photolytic, and fluorescent features predicted; additionally, applications of ionosphere-emissions measurements of PCA to specific problems of optical and communications system degradation are reviewed.
