Scientific paper

Updated neutral emission rates for electron impact excitation of atomic oxygen and sulfur based upon the Collisional Radiative Equilibrium (COREQ) model have been incorporated in the neutral cloud models. An empirical model for the Io plasma torus wake has also been added in the neutral cloud model to describe important enhancements in the neutral emission rates and lifetime rates in this spatial region. New insights into Io's atmosphere and its interaction with the plasma torus are discussed. These insights are based upon an initial comparison of simultaneous lo observations on October 14, 1997, for [0I] 6300 Angstrom emissions acquired by groundbased facilities and several ultraviolet emissions acquired by HST/STIS in the form of high-spatial- resolution images for atomic oxygen and sulfur.
