Mid-latitude response to geomagnetic storms observed in 630nm airglow over continental United States
Abstract
We present analysis of mid-latitude response observed to geomagnetic storms using the MANGO network consisting of all-sky cameras imaging 630nm emission over the continental United States. The response largely falls in two categories: Stable Auroral Red (SAR) arc and Large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (LSTIDs). However, outside of these phenomena, less often observed response include anomalous airglow brightening, bright swirls, and frozen in traveling structures. We will present an analysis of various events observed over 3 years of MANGO network operation, which started with two imagers in the western US with addition of new imagers in the last year. We will also present unusual north and northeastward propagating waves often observed in conjunction with diffuse aurora. Wherever possible, we will compare with observations from Boston University imagers located in Massachusetts and Texas.
