摘要: Abstract : A study has been made of the physics and chemistry involved when energy is deposited into upper atmosphere by electrons. Calculations have both size shape electron interaction region radiation intensity produced in that region. The results NASA artificial aurora experiment performed Hess et al., 1969 analyzed this context. emission from with 3500 to 8000A analyzed. observed calculated fitting laboratory measurements earth's exponential atmosphere, taking account geomagnetic field are attributed prompt N2(+) first negative, N2 positive, O2(+) as well afterglow OI 5577A 6300A emitters. time dependence signal was found be consistent observations.
