An Infrared spectral radiance code for the auroral thermosphere (AARC) / J.R. Winick [and others]

A first principles scientific model for predicting the spectral radiance from the auroral thermosphere seen by an earthlimb observer is described. This model, and the resulting Auroral Atmospheric Radiance Code (AARC), describe the energy deposition in the thermosphere by primary auroral electrons a...
