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. ... -
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) ... -
Energetic electron precipitation in weak to moderate corotating interaction region-driven storms
Ødegaard, Linn-Kristine Glesnes; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Søraas, Finn; Stadnes, Johan; Sandanger, Marit Irene (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)High-energy electron precipitation from the radiation belts can penetrate deep into the mesosphere and increase the production rate of NOx and HOx, which in turn will reduce ozone in catalytic processes. The mechanisms for ... -
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 ... -
A Generalized Method for Calculating Atmospheric Ionization by Energetic Electron Precipitation
Xu, Wei; Marshall, Robert A.; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Fang, Xiaohua (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Accurate specification of ionization production by energetic electron precipitation is critical for atmospheric chemistry models to assess the resultant atmospheric effects. Recent model-observation comparison studies have ... -
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) ... -
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 Electron Precipitation During Pulsating Aurora and Its Chemical Impact
Kebede, Fasil Tesema; Partamies, Noora; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Kero, Antti; Smith-Johnsen, Christine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Pulsating auroras (PsAs) are low‐intensity diffuse aurora, which switch on and off with a quasiperiodic oscillation period from a few seconds to ∼10 s.
