The 630.0 and 557.7 nm thermospheric dayglow was modeled at high-latitude using an eight-moment fluid model, from measurements coordinated between the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) radar and the Wind Imaging Interferometer (WINDII). The emission computation in particular included the electron (suprathermal and thermal) impact whose cross sections have been updated, the dissociative recombination of O2+ ion described for the first time by a theoretical rate coefficient, the photodissociation of molecular oxygen, and some relevant chemical reactions. The neutral atmosphere was adjusted by calibrating the ionospheric model outputs to EISCAT data. Slight adjustments were needed in order to reach a good agreement. The results were successfully compared to WINDII observations. Our present study shows that simultaneous EISCAT-WINDII measurements can be used to reduce uncertainties due to the neutral composition and that new observations of the EUV solar spectrum are still needed. ¿ 1999 American Geophysical Union |
