Resonance scattering by auroral N<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup>: steady state theory and observations from Svalbard
Studies of auroral energy input at high latitudes often depend on observations of emissions from the first negative band of ionised nitrogen. However, these emissions are affected by solar resonance scattering, which makes photometric and spectrographic measurements difficult to interpret. This...
