Direct and indirect electron precipitation effect on nitric oxide in the polar middle atmosphere, using a full-range energy spectrum
Smith-Johnsen, Christine; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Hendrickx, Koen; Orsolini, Yvan; Kishore Kumar, Grandhi; Ødegaard, Linn-Kristine Glesnes; Sandanger, Marit Irene; Stordal, Frode; Megner, Linda (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)In April 2010, a coronal mass ejection and a corotating interaction region on the Sun resulted in an energetic electron precipitation event in the Earth’s atmosphere. We investigate direct and indirect nitric oxide (NO) ... -
Mesospheric nitric acid enhancements during energetic electron precipitation events simulated by WACCM‐D
Orsolini, Yvan; Smith-Johnsen, Christine; Marsh, Daniel R.; Stordal, Frode; Rodger, Craig J.; Verronen, Pekka T.; Clilverd, Mark A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07)While observed mesospheric polar nitric acid enhancements have been attributed to energetic particle precipitation through ion cluster chemistry in the past, this phenomenon is not reproduced in current whole‐atmosphere ... -
Modelling the descent of nitric oxide during the elevated stratopause event of January 2013
Orsolini, Yvan; Limpasuvan, Varavut; Pérot, Kristell; Espy, Patrick Joseph; Hibbins, Robert; Lossow, Stefan; Raaholt Larsson, Katarina; Murtagh, Donal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)Using simulations with a whole-atmosphere chemistry-climate model nudged by meteorological analyses, global satellite observations of nitrogen oxide (NO) and water vapour by the Sub-Millimetre Radiometer instrument (SMR), ... -
Nitric Oxide Response to the April 2010 Electron Precipitation Event: Using WACCM and WACCM‐D With and Without Medium‐Energy Electrons
Smith-Johnsen, Christine; Marsh, Daniel R.; Orsolini, Yvan; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Hendrickx, Koen; Sandanger, Marit Irene J.; Ødegaard, Linn-Kristine Glesnes; Stordal, Frode (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-07)Energetic electrons from the magnetosphere deposit their energy in the atmosphere and lead to production of nitric oxide (NO) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. We study the atmospheric NO response to a geomagnetic ... -
Observations of planetary waves in the mesosphere-lower thermosphere during stratospheric warming events
Stray, Nora Henriette; Orsolini, Yvan; Espy, Patrick Joseph; Limpasuvan, Varavut; Hibbins, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-04)This study investigates the effect of stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) on planetary wave (PW) activity in the mesosphere–lower thermosphere (MLT). PW activity near 95 km is derived from meteor wind data using a chain ... -
On the composite response of the MLT to major sudden stratospheric warming events with elevated stratopause
Limpasuvan, Varavut; Orsolini, Yvan; Chandran, Amal; Garcia, Rolando R.; Smith, Anne K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Based on a climate-chemistry model (constrained by reanalyses below ~50 km), the zonal-mean composite response of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) to major sudden stratospheric warming events with elevated ... -
Two mechanisms of stratospheric ozone loss in the Northern Hemisphere, studied using data assimilation of Odin/SMR atmospheric observations
Sagi, Kazutoshi; Pérot, Kristell; Murtagh, Donal; Orsolini, Yvan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02-07)Observations from the Odin/Sub-Millimetre Radiometer (SMR) instrument have been assimilated into the DIAMOND model (Dynamic Isentropic Assimilation Model for OdiN Data), in order to estimate the chemical ozone (O3) loss ...
