Scientific paper

Observations by the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) experiment will provide both context for in-situ measurements made on the "Radiation Belt Mappers" and information necessary for understanding changes in the radiation belts. GOLD will produce ultraviolet (UV) images of the Earth from a geostationary satellite. It will give near real-time information, on time scales of an hour to a day, about the response of the ionosphere-thermosphere to the influence of the magnetosphere and to variations in solar irradiance. Examples of information GOLD can provide include the boundaries in the magnetosphere from auroral locations and the electric field strengths (throughout the day) in the equatorial region from observations of the equatorial arcs. Such information is needed for understanding variability in the radiation belts.
