Auroral electron precipitation produces both E region ionization and bremsstrahlung x rays. In a set of coordinated observations, these atmospheric effects of electron precipitation were measured simultaneously by the x ray sensor on the DMSP/F2 spacecraft and by the incoherent scatter radar at Chatanika, Alaska. In all data sets there was good agreement between the locations of the x ray source regions and the regions of enhanced E region ionization. Detailed comparisons were made between the measured and derived altitude profiles of ionization for two auroral conditions, a premidnight auroral band and a sunlit diffuse aurora. These comparisons validate the ability to derive auroral ionization from satellite-based x ray measurements.
