Auroral Simulation Studies in Support of ICECAP and EXCEDE. HAES Report No. 24.

Abstract

This report describes the results of calculations and comparisons with data from Projects ICECAP and EXCEDE. Data from three auroral events, taken by ICECAP rockets A18.205-1, A10.205-2, and A18.219-1, and supplemented by data from ground-based instrumentation, were compared with results from ARCTIC code and other supporting calculations. Conclusions, especially with respect to SWIR radiation enhancement, and the excitation mechanism involved, are drawn.
