AURORA: An NRL Auroral Chemistry Code.

Abstract

A computer code is described which models the chemistry in the atmosphere during and subsequent to the deposition of auroral electrons. In addition to obtaining altitude profiles of 14 atmospheric species as a function of time for any given incident-electron spectrum, the code predicts volume and column emissions of selected UV, visible, and IR spectral lines. Typical results from an ICECAP spectrum are presented.
