RENU2 UV PMT observations of the cusp
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
The Rocket Experiment for Neutral Upwelling 2 (RENU2) sounding rocket launched from the Andoya Space Center on 13 December 2015 into the dayside polar cusp.
Description
An ultraviolet photomultiplier tube (UV PMT) on the RENU2 payload was oriented to look up along the spin axis for emissions of neutral atomic oxygen above the payload. Data from the UV PMT have been compared to predicted auroral emissions calculated by the Global Airglow (GLOW) model.
The comparison between GLOW calculations driven by RENU2 electron precipitation measurements and UV PMT data suggest enhanced neutral density in the cusp at altitudes above the RENU2 trajectory.
