Abstract

Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM) results have been compared with measurements from Global-scale observations of the limb and disk (GOLD) and Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER). For the first time, GOLD-derived exospheric temperature and column-integrated O / N 2 ${\mathrm{O}/\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ ratio measurements have been used to validate GITM model results. We examine two geomagnetic storm events for which we drive GITM with space weather conditions to understand how well the model reproduces the thermospheric responses to geomagnetic activity. In this paper, a recently developed auroral model, the Feature Tracking of Aurora (FTA) model, has been employed to calculate auroral electron precipitation in GITM (GITM w/FTA), and results are compared with the OVATION prime (OP) driven GITM model (GITM w/OP). GITM w/FTA simulated temperature, neutral density, and nitric oxide (NO) density are generally higher compared to the GITM w/OP model. During the geomagnetic storm, the GITM model and GOLD-derived exospheric temperature agree between 0 ° ${\sim} 0{}^{\circ}$ and 5 ° $5{}^{\circ}$ N latitude in the equatorial region. GOLD measurements show strong O / N 2 ${\mathrm{O}/\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ peaks on either side of the equator during the geomagnetic storm period, which is also observed in our model results. The NO cooling peaks estimated by GITM models are ${\sim} $ 20 km lower than SABER observations during geomagnetic storms. GITM w/FTA better matches SABER observations than GITM w/OP except at low latitudes during storm time. Our model-model/data comparisons show that improved auroral models are needed to better capture the thermospheric variations during geomagnetic storms.

利用 GITM-OVATION Prime 和 -FTA 模型调查热层对地磁暴的响应并与 GOLD 和 SABER 观测结果进行比较
将全球电离层热层模型(GITM)的结果与边缘和圆盘全球尺度观测(GOLD)和利用宽带发射辐射测量法探测大气层(SABER)的测量结果进行了比较。GOLD得出的外大气层温度和柱积分O/N 2 ${mathrm{O}/\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ 比率测量值首次被用来验证GITM模型的结果。我们研究了两个地磁暴事件,在这些事件中,我们用空间天气条件驱动了 GITM,以了解该模式如何很好地再现热层对地磁活动的响应。本文采用了最近开发的极光模型--极光特征跟踪(FTA)模型来计算 GITM(GITM w/FTA)中的极光电子沉淀,并将结果与 OVATION prime(OP)驱动的 GITM 模型(GITM w/OP)进行了比较。与 GITM w/OP 模型相比,GITM w/FTA 模拟的温度、中性密度和一氧化氮密度普遍较高。在地磁暴期间,GITM模式和GOLD得出的外大气层温度在赤道地区北纬0°∼0{sim} 0{}^{/{circ}$和5°∼5{}^{/{circ}$之间是一致的。GOLD 测量显示,在地磁暴期间,赤道两侧的 O / N 2 ${\mathrm{O}/\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ 峰值很强,这在我们的模式结果中也观察到了。在地磁暴期间,GITM 模式估计的 NO 冷却峰值比 SABER 观测值低 20 千米。除风暴期间的低纬度外,GITM w/FTA 比 GITM w/OP 更符合 SABER 的观测结果。我们的模型-模型/数据比较表明,需要改进极光模型,以更好地捕捉地磁暴期间热层的变化。
