This proposal is to further develop a comprehensive model of the physical and chemical reactions occurring in the thermosphere during auroral precipitation events, and to use them to interpret spectrographic observations from recent and planned CEDAR campaigns. The result will be information on the energy distribution of incident electrons and protons, and changes in atmospheric composition as a result of the precipitation. The proposed work is likely to lead to a significant advance in our ability to use ground based observations to infer the physics and chemistry of auroral effects on the atmosphere, including heating effects and composition changes. There is a current need for such an interpretive capability, which will be increasing during the next few years, as the CEDAR campaigns of coordinated auroral observations produce extensive data sets. The PI is highly qualified to perform such work, as he has developed the most comprehensive model currently available for such work.

该提案旨在进一步制定一个全面的模式， 热层中发生的物理和化学反应 在极光降水事件，并使用它们来解释 最近和计划中CEDAR的光谱观测 竞选 结果将是关于能量的信息 入射电子和质子的分布，以及 大气成分是降水的结果。 拟议中的工作可能会导致重大进展 我们有能力利用地面观测来推断 极光对大气影响的物理学和化学， 包括加热效应和成分变化。 有一个 目前需要这种解释能力，这将是 在接下来的几年里，随着CEDAR运动的发展， 协调一致的极光观测产生了大量的数据集。 PI非常有资格执行此类工作，因为他 开发了目前最全面的模型， 这样的工作。
