In the following example, we applied the model to a night of moderate aurora over Poker Flat, Alaska. The following panels show some of the model output parameters.
Local time is plotted along the horizontal axis.
The vertical axis shows altitude in km. During the early morning hours the effects of the rising sun can be seen. The N 2 ionization rate, for example, shows clearly the decending terminator as the sun rises. The blue and red auroral emissions as a function of time and altitude are modeled as shown in the next two panels.
