Thermospheric neutral temperatures derived from charge-exchange produced N<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> Meinel (1,0) rotational distributions
Thermalized rotational distributions of neutral and ionized N<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> have long been used to determine neutral temperatures (<I>T</I><sub>n</sub>) during auroral conditions. In both bright E-region (≲150 km) auroras,...
