Ionospheric Electron Heating Associated With Pulsating Auroras: Joint Optical and PFISR Observations
Abstract
Abstract In a recent study, Liang et al. (2017, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017JA024127 ) repeatedly identified strong electron temperature ( T e ) enhancements when Swarm satellites traversed pulsating auroral patches. In this study, we use joint optical and Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) observations to further investigate the F region plasma signatures related to pulsating auroras. On 19 March 2015 night, which contained …
