Scientific paper

This paper reviews the theoretical and technological basis for determining some of the properties of the auroral ionosphere by optical remote-sensing techniques. Spectrophotometer and imaging experiments are described which provide detailed, quantitative information on properties of the E region: total energy deposited, ion pair production rate, electron density, and height-integrated Hall and Pederson conductivities. Examples of these measurements are given and compared with equivalent measurements made using the Chatanika incoherent scatter radar. It is shown that measurements made with spectrophotometric methods compare well in accuracy with the radar measurements.
