Imaging of the Daytime Ionospheric Equatorial Arcs With Extreme and Far Ultraviolet Airglow

We present the first global images of the daytime ionosphere equatorial arcs as manifested in the 83.4-nm airglow. These images were collected by the Limb-Imaging Ionospheric and Thermospheric Extreme-Ultraviolet Spectrograph that commenced operations on the International Space Station in early 2017. We compare these to simultaneous images of the ionospheric radiative recombination airglow at 135.6 nm measured between 250- and 350-km tangent altitudes, where the emission is generated primarily by radiative recombination of ionospheric plasma. We find that these signatures of the dense crests of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly, their symmetry, and daily variability at 1300\textendash1600 LT over 1\textendash6 April 2017 do not show any strong periodicity during this time. These results are also important to the joint interpretation of these two correlated extreme and far ultraviolet emission features measured under solar minimum conditions and the evaluation of absorption and radiative transfer effects that affect these emissions differently.

Ionospheric imaging using merged ultraviolet airglow and radio occultation data

The Limb-imaging Ionospheric and Thermospheric Extreme-ultraviolet Spectrograph (LITES) and GPS Radio Occultation and Ultraviolet Photometry-Colocated (GROUP-C) experiments are being considered for flight aboard the Space Test Program Houston 5 (STP-H5) experiment pallet to the International Space Station (ISS). LITES is a compact imaging spectrograph that makes one-dimensional images of atmospheric and ionospheric ultraviolet (60-140 nm) airglow above the limb of the Earth. The LITES optical design is advantageous in that it uses a toroidal grating as its lone optical surface to create these high-sensitivity images without the need for any moving parts. GROUP-C consists of two instruments: a nadir-viewing ultraviolet photometer that measures nighttime ionospheric airglow at 135.6 nm with unprecedented sensitivity, and a GPS receiver that measures ionospheric electron content and scintillation with the assistance of a novel antenna array designed for multipath mitigation. By flying together, these two experiments form an ionospheric observatory aboard the ISS that will provide new capability to study low- and mid-latitude ionospheric structures on a global scale. This paper presents the design and implementation of the LITES and GROUP-C experiments on the STP-H5 payload that will combine for the first time high-sensitivity in-track photometry with vertical spectrographic imagery of ionospheric airglow to create high-fidelity images of ionospheric structures. The addition of the GPS radio occultation measurement provides the unique opportunity to constrain, as well as cross-validate, the merged airglow measurements. \textcopyright (2014) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
