GOLD Observations of Thermospheric Neutral Temperature Variability During the 14 October 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse
The 14 October 2023 annular solar eclipse was visible from the US Pacific coast to Brazil's east coast. NASA's Global-scale Observations of Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission observed the first synoptic thermospheric temperature changes from a geo-stationary orbit above 47.5°W longitude between 17 and 20 UT during the eclipse. These daytime thermospheric changes were derived using GOLD's disk far ultraviolet (FUV) measurements. A significant decrease in the daytime disk temperatures (∼100 K) was seen near the peak annularity compared to the day before (baseline). The temperature reduction's spatial morphology is also like that of the eclipse shadow. Previous modeling studies of other eclipses typically show a much smaller temperature decrease (∼30–40 K; a factor of 2–3 lower) compared to GOLD observations. These first of kind results provide new insight into the dynamic response of the coupled thermosphere and ionosphere system to transient solar events, including eclipses.
期刊介绍:
Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) publishes high-impact, innovative, and timely research on major scientific advances in all the major geoscience disciplines. Papers are communications-length articles and should have broad and immediate implications in their discipline or across the geosciences. GRLmaintains the fastest turn-around of all high-impact publications in the geosciences and works closely with authors to ensure broad visibility of top papers.
