Variations of Lower Thermospheric FUV Emissions Based on GOLD Observations and GLOW Modeling
Here we compare the global‐scale morphology of Earth's the Far‐Ultraviolet (FUV) emissions observed by NASA's Global‐scale Observations of Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission to those modeled using the Global Airglow (GLOW) code with atmospheric parameters provided by Thermosphere‐Ionosphere‐Elec...

description | Here we compare the global‐scale morphology of Earth's the Far‐Ultraviolet (FUV) emissions observed by NASA's Global‐scale Observations of Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission to those modeled using the Global Airglow (GLOW) code with atmospheric parameters provided by Thermosphere‐Ionosphere‐Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM). The O (5)S oxygen (135.6 nm) and N(2) Lyman‐Birge‐Hopfield (LBH) emissions are observed over the Western hemisphere every 30 min by the GOLD instrument. The FUV brightness of the thermosphere‐ionosphere is expected to vary in systemic ways with respect to geophysical parameters, solar energy input from above, and terrestrial weather input from below. In this paper we examine the O (5)S oxygen emission and the N(2) LBH emission brightnesses with local time, latitude, season, tides, geomagnetic activity, and solar activity based on GOLD observations and GLOW modeling. Early GOLD observations indicate that the model effectively reproduces the brightness variations with local time and latitude but is biased low in magnitude. However, the TIEGCM is unable to accurately represent the extraordinary nighttime equatorial ionization anomaly observed by GOLD. It is also expected from these results that the signal from geomagnetic storms may obscure tidal signals. |
