Assimilation of Multiple Data Types to a Regional Ionosphere Model With a 3D-Var Algorithm (IDA4D)

For the purpose of building a regional (bound 20\textendash60\textdegreeN in latitude and 110\textendash160\textdegreeE in longitude) ionospheric nowcast model, we investigated the performance of IDA4D (Ionospheric Data Assimilation Four-Dimension) technique considering International Reference Ionosphere model as the background. The data utilized in assimilation were slant total electron content (STEC) from 27 ground GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver stations and NmF2 (ionospheric F2 peak density) from five ionoson ...

Estimation of the ionosphere-thermosphere energy budget during geomagnetic storms with GITM, satellite observations and empirical models

Improving modeling of the ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) energy budget is important for correct representation of the IT system and physics-based space weather forecasting. We present a framework for estimation of the IT energy budget with the physics-based Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model (GITM), empirical models and observations. The approach is illustrated for the 16-19 March 2013 and 2015 geomagnetic storms. Solar wind data, F10.7, OVATION Prime model and the Weimer 2005 model are utilized to drive GITM. We focus on co ...

Sparse Hierarchical Nonparametric Bayesian learning for light field representation and denoising

In this paper, we present a sparse hierarchical non-parametric Bayesian (SHNB) model, which is used to represent the data captured by the light field cameras. Specifically, a light field can be represented as a set of sub-aperture views. In order to capture the visual variations of these viewpoints, we propose the so-called \textquotedblleftdepth flow\textquotedblright features. Then based on the depth flow features, we model these views statistically with a sparse representation in a fully unsupervised manner. While loca ...

Undulations on the equatorward edge of the diffuse proton aurora: TIMED/GUVI observations

Undulations on the equatorward edge of the diffuse proton aurora have been identified by using TIMED/GUVI auroral images in the far ultraviolet wavelengths. While undulations have been previously reported on the duskside (Lui et al., 1982), GUVI observations show the undulation also occurs in the dayside, nightside, and morningside. The GUVI proton auroral images provide direct optical evidence that the undulations occur in the proton aurora. It is also the first detection of the undulation in the dayside indicating stron ...

Far-ultraviolet signature of polar cusp during southward IMF Bz observed by TIMED/Global Ultraviolet Imager and DMSP

The coincident TIMED/Global Ultraviolet Imager (TIMED/GUVI) optical and DMSP particle observations have revealed new features of the optical signature of the polar cusp under a southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We have found that cusp auroras usually take the shape of a thin arc with a width around 100\textendash200 km. This provides the first far-ultraviolet evidence of the narrow cusp under a southward IMF [

Each of the magnetic storms occurring during a 4-day period (1\textendash4 October 2002) caused significant O/N₂ depletion that was detected by both of the IMAGE SI-13 and GUVI instruments.

Double dayside detached auroras: TIMED/GUVI observations

On August 19, 2003, TIMED/GUVI detected, for the first time, two separated (double) dayside detached auroras (D-DDA) simultaneously in all the GUVI channels, 121.6 nm, 135.6 nm, LBHS, and LBHL. The D-DDA was located at magnetic latitudes around -57\textdegree and -63\textdegree (L shell 3.4 and 4.9) in the 0900\textendash1030 MLT region. The high-latitude part of the D-DDA is much brighter than the low-latitude part. DMSP particle observation indicates that the source of the D-DDA is energetic (\~10 keV) precipitating pro ...

GUVI: a hyperspectral imager for geospace

The Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) is an imaging spectrometer on the NASA TIMED spacecraft which was launched on December 7, 2001. This instrument produces a far ultraviolet (FUV) data cube of spatial and spectral information at each step of a scan mirror - that scan mirror covers 140 deg in the cross track direction - a span that includes on limb. GUVI produces simultaneous monochromatic images at five "colors" (121.6 nm, 130.4 nm, 135.6 nm, and in broader bands at 140-150 nm and 165-180 nm) as its field of view is sca ...

Negative ionospheric storms seen by the IMAGE FUV instrument

Data from the IMAGE SI-13 instrument are used to study depletions in the OI 135.6 nm dayglow intensity due to two magnetic storms observed on 8 June and 15 July 2000. Results show that the SI-13 instrument is sensitive to changes in the 135.6 nm dayglow caused by depletion of the O/N₂\ column density ratio. It is found that depletion levels in the SI-13 images are weaker than those in the true O/N₂\ values or electron density parameters, such as NmF2 (peak F2 electron density) due to the N< ...

Optical Signature of Polar Cusp During Southward IMF Bz Observed by TIMED/GUVI and DMSP

The GUVI instrument on board the TIMED satellite provides unique multi-wavelength observations of polar region emissions. In this study we focus on the identification of the polar cusp region during southward IMF conditions. Using simultaneous DMSP particle observations, the optical signatures and dynamics of the polar cusp region are investigated. We will address which of the five GUVI wavelengths can best be used for optical identification of the cusp precipitation by comparing images of various wavelengths. These new G ...
