Comparison of ICECAP and EXCEDE Rocket Measurements with Computer Code Predictions.

Abstract

An analysis is made of rocketborne HAES experiments performed as part of the ICECAP and EXCEDE II test programs. The results are compared to atmospheric emissions from code modelling. Relationships between auroral electron spectra and visible aurora have been determined. Sources of auroral IR are explained. (Author)
