Scientific paper

The use of the EUV heating efficiency values of Torr et. al. (1980) in the three-dimensional time dependent thermospheric model of Fuller-Rowell and Rees (1980, 1981) is examined. The Torr et al. EUV heating efficiencies eliminate the need to increase the solar fluxes in order to simulate the observed exospheric temperature. The ability of the Torr et al. values to reflect the efficiency of the thermosphere to transform incoming solar EUV radiation in the heating of the neutral gas is observed. The efficiencies and observed thermospheric temperature structure correlate well revealing the consistency of the new EUV heating efficiencies.
