On the Origin of STEVE: Particle Precipitation or Ionospheric Skyglow?
Abstract
Abstract One of the recent developments in ionospheric research was the introduction of a subauroral spectacle called STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement). Although STEVE has been documented by amateur night sky watchers for decades, it is an exciting new upper atmospheric phenomenon for the scientific community. Observed first by amateur auroral photographers, STEVE appeared as a narrow luminous structure across the night sky. …
