Ultraviolet spectra in the diffuse auroral region

Description
Nadir-viewing UV spectral/photometric measurements taken aboard the S3-4 satellite at 270 km were used to study the energetics of incident electrons in the nighttime aurora. The results suggest that the average energy of incident electrons was 3 + or - 1 kev. It is also found that the intensity ratio of the LBH (3-10) to VK (0-5) emissions is a good indicator of the average energy flux of the incident electrons. 31 references
