Suprathermal electrons in the geospace environment and their effects on the upper atmosphere
EF 2016-17 · 2017-03-30
Résumé
The project is entitled 'Suprathermal electrons in the geospace environment and their effects on the upper atmosphere'. Using data from six Canadian space instruments, together with auroral observations made from the ground, the project team will improve models of the aurora to include the effect of the hot electrons that give rise to the aurora. The improved model will enhance our knowledge of the near-Earth space environment and energy input in the upper atmosphere.

Description (French)
Le présent projet est intitulé « Suprathermal electrons in the geospace environment and their effects on the upper atmosphere ». À l'aide de données provenant de six instruments satellitaires canadiens, ainsi que des observations aurorales faites depuis le sol, l'équipe du projet améliorera la modélisation des aurores en incluant l'effet des électrons énergétiques qui donnent lieu à l'aurore. Le nouveau modèle améliorera notre connaissance de l'environnement de l'espace circumterrestre et de l'apport énergétique dans la haute atmosphère.
Expected Results
