Auroral observations from space
Abstract
Results of auroral observations conducted from both manned and unmanned spacecraft are presented in a systematic manner. Data are given on the morphology and spatial-temporal distributions of auroral luminescence regions, auroral oval structure, and physical processes involved in upper atmosphere luminescence. Detailed experimental data are included on luminescent halos around spacecraft; various physical mechanisms of this phenomenon are examined.
