ROSCOE Manual, Volume 14A-1 - Ambient Atmosphere (Major and Minor Neutral Species and Ionosphere).

Abstract

The ROSCOE-Radar ambient atmosphere model has been extensively revised to provide (a) major atmospheric properties and species densities corresponding to either a code-generated or (optional) user-specified latitude- and season-dependent temperature profile below 120-km altitude, (b) an increase from 10 to 19 minor species profiles (0, 0(1d), (a1 triangle g), 0 sub 3, N(4S), N2D), N(2P), NO, NO sub 2, N sub 2 O, CO sub 2, CO, CH sub 4, H sub 2 O, H, AR, and HE), with some of them having complex dependencies on latitude (or even geographic position in the case of water below 5-km altitude), local apparent time, fractional season-year, and solar decimetric flux, (c) (optional) user-specified water-vapor profile, and (d) an ionosphere with e, O+, NO+, O+2, and N+2 as ionized species (more than 90 km).
