• Are EEP Events Important for the Tertiary Ozone Maximum? 

      Zawedde, Annet Eva; Nesse Tyssøy, Hilde; Stadsnes, Johan; Sandanger, Marit Irene J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Energetic particle precipitation (EPP) increases the production of odd hydrogen (HOX ) species in the mesosphere, which catalytically destroy ozone (O3) in sunlight. Hence, the EPP‐HOX impact on the tertiary O3 maximum ...
    • Cutoff latitude variation during solar proton events: Causes and consequences 

      Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Stadsnes, Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01)
      To accurately quantify the effect of solar proton events (SPEs) on the atmosphere requires a good estimate of the particle energy deposition in the middle atmosphere (60–100 km) and how the energy is distributed globally. ...
    • Energetic Electron Precipitation into the Middle Atmosphere – Constructing the Loss Cone Fluxes from MEPED POES 

      Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Sandanger, Marit Irene; Stadsnes, Johan; Zawedde, Annet Eva; Ødegaard, Linn-Kristine Glesnes; Åsnes, Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06)
      The impact of energetic electron precipitation (EEP) on the chemistry of the middle atmosphere (50–90 km) is still an outstanding question as accurate quantification of EEP is lacking due to instrumental challenges and ...
    • The impact of energetic electron precipitation on mesospheric hydroxyl during a year of solar minimum 

      Zawedde, Annet Eva; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Hibbins, Robert Edward; Espy, Patrick Joseph; Degaard, L-K.; Sandanger, Marit Irene; Stadsnes, Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06)
      In 2008 a sequence of geomagnetic storms occurred triggered by high-speed solar wind streams from coronal holes. Improved estimates of precipitating fluxes of energetic electrons are derived from measurements on board the ...
    • In-flight calibration of NOAA POES proton detectors - Derivation of the MEPED correction factors 

      Sandanger, Marit Irene; Ødegaard, Linn-Kristine Glesnes; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Stadsnes, Johan; Søraas, Finn; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Aarsnes, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-25)
      The MEPED instruments on board the NOAA POES and MetOp satellites have been continuously measuring energetic particles in the magnetosphere since 1978. However, degradation of the proton detectors over time leads to an ...
    • Intercomparison of the POES/MEPED Loss Cone Electron Fluxes With the CMIP6 Parametrization 

      Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Haderlein, Astrid; Sandanger, Marit Irene J.; Stadsnes, Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Quantitative measurements of medium energy electron (MEE) precipitation (>40 keV) are a key to understand the total effect of particle precipitation on the atmosphere. The Medium Energy Proton and Electron Detector (MEPED) ...
    • The modular X- and gamma-ray sensor (MXGS) of the ASIM Payload on the International Space Station 

      Østgaard, Nikolai; Balling, Jan E.; Bjørnsen, Thomas Riis; Brauer, Peter; Budtz-Jørgensen, Carl; Bujwan, Waldemar; Carlson, Brant Edward; Christiansen, Freddy; Connell, Paul; Eyles, Chris; Fehlker, Dominik; Genov, Georgi; Grudzinski, Pawel; Kochkin, Pavlo; Kohfeldt, Anja; Kuvvetli, Irfan; Thomsen, Per Lundahl; Pedersen, Søren Møller; Navarro-Gonzalez, Javier; Neubert, Torsten; Njøten, Kåre; Orleanski, Piotr; Qureshi, Bilal Hasan; Cenkeramaddi, Linga Reddy; Reglero, Victor; Reina, Manuel; Rodrigo, Juan Manuel; Rostad, Maja Elise; Sabau, Maria D.; Kristensen, Steen Savstrup; Skogseide, Yngve; Solberg, Arne Olav; Stadsnes, Johan; Ullaland, Kjetil; Yang, Shiming (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-18)
      The Modular X- and Gamma-ray Sensor (MXGS) is an imaging and spectral X- and Gamma-ray instrument mounted on the starboard side of the Columbus module on the International Space Station. Together with the Modular Multi-Spectral ...
    • Space Weather impact on the degradation of NOAA POES MEPED proton detectors 

      Ødegaard, Linn-Kristine Glesnes; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Sandanger, Marit Irene; Stadsnes, Johan; Søraas, Finn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06-07)
      The Medium Energy Proton and Electron Detector (MEPED) on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (NOAA POES) is known to degrade with time. In recent years a lot ...
