Opis: Auroral Dynamics and Space Weather - Larry Paxton, Zhang Yongliang

The aurora is the most visible manifestation of the connection of the Earth to the space environment and has inspired awe, curiosity, and scientific inquiry for centuries. Recent advances in observing techniques and modeling and theoretical work have revealed new auroral phenomena, provided a better understanding of auroral dynamics, and have led to an enhanced capability for auroral forecasts. This monograph features discussions of: * New auroral phenomena due to the ring current ion and polar rain electron precipitation * Various auroral forms and hemispheric asymmetry * Auroral model development and MHD simulations * Application of the auroral observations for radio absorption and scintillation * Aurora nowcast and forecast for space weather operations Auroral Dynamics and Space Weather is a valuable contribution for scientists, researchers, space weather operators, and students of Earth's space environment.Contributors vii Preface xi Part I: Aurora Types and Dynamics 1 1 Investigations of the Many Distinct Types of Auroras Christopher A Colpitts 3 2 Quasiperiodic Aurora: Outstanding Problems and Recent Results Eric J Lund 19 3 Inverted ]V Auroral Arcs and Alfven Waves Christopher C Chaston 29 4 Auroral Arcs and Ion Outflow Romain Maggiolo 39 5 Isolated Proton Auroras and Pc1/EMIC Waves at Subauroral Latitudes Kaori Sakaguchi, Kazuo Shiokawa, Yoshizumi Miyoshi, and Martin Connors 59 6 Dynamics of the Dayside Aurora as Viewed from the South Pole Donald J McEwen, Gulamabas Gulamhusen Sivjee, and Yongliang Zhang 71 7 Structures in Polar Rain Auroras Yongliang Zhang, Larry J Paxton, and Hyosub Kil 81 8 Dynamics Related to Plasmasheet Flow Bursts as Revealed from the Aurora Larry R Lyons, Yukitoshi Nishimura, Beatrice Gallardo ]Lacourt, Ying Zou, Eric F Donovan, Stephen Mende, Vassills Angelopoulos, John M Ruohoniemi, Kathryn A McWilliams, Don L Hampton, and Michael J Nicolls 95 9 Role of Multiple Atmospheric Reflections in Formation of Electron Distribution Function in the Diffuse Aurora Region George V Khazanov, Elizabeth W Himwich, Alex Glocer, and David G Sibeck 115 Part II: Hemispheric Conjugacy of Auroras 131 10 Mechanisms that Produce Auroral Asymmetries in Conjugate Hemispheres Nikolai Ostgaard, Jone Peter Reistad, Paul Tenfjord, Karl Magnus Laundal, Kristian Snekvik, Steve Milan, and Stein Haaland 133 11 Interhemispheric Symmetries and Asymmetries of Aurora from Ground ]Based Conjugate Observations Natsuo Sato, Akira Kadokura, Tetsuo Motoba, Keisuke Hosokawa, Gunnlaugur Bjornsson, and Thorsteinn Saemundsson 145 Part III: Substorm Aurora 163 12 Magnetospheric Substorm Onset by Current Disruption Processes Anthony T Y Lui 165 13 Substorm Auroral Dynamics Reproduced by Advanced Global Magnetosphere Ionosphere (M I) Coupling Simulation Takashi Tanaka 177 Part IV: Radio Aurora 191 14 The Radar Aurora David L Hysell 193 15 GPS Phase Scintillation at High Latitudes during Two Geomagnetic Storms Paul Prikryl, Reza Ghoddousi ]Fard, John M Ruohoniemi, and Evan G Thomas 211 16 Radio Absorption in Auroral Region John K Hargreaves 233 17 Auroral Kilometric Radiation: Polarization and Spectra Observed Far from Earth Kozo Hashimoto, Yoshitaka Goto, Yoshiya Kasahara, Hiroshi Matsumoto, and Roger R Anderson 255 Part V: Auroral Models and Predictions 275 18 Auroral Precipitation Models and Space Weather Patrick T Newell, Kan Liou, Yongliang Zhang, Thomas S Sotirelis, Larry J Paxton, and Elizabeth J Mitchell 277 19 Space Weather Products and Tools Used in Auroral Monitoring and Forecasting at CCMC/SWRC Yihua Zheng and Lutz Rastaetter 291 Index 303
