Scientific paper

From X-ray measurements with PIXIE on the Polar satellite we infer the global distribution of precipitating energetic electrons. These electrons ionize, dissociate, and excite atmospheric species, and initiate chemical and physical processes that lead to neutral gas heating in the thermosphere. The particle precipitation may also cause temperature changes in the upper mesosphere. Neutral gas temperatures are measured by the SABER instrument on the TIMED satellite. We study the effects of energetic electron precipitation on the temperature in the lower thermosphere and upper mesosphere during a substorm event on 30 October 2002.
