Rotational temperature of N<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> (0,2) ions from spectrographic measurements used to infer the energy of precipitation in different auroral forms and compared with radar measurements
High resolution spectral data are used to estimate neutral temperatures at auroral heights. The data are from the High Throughput Imaging Echelle Spectrograph (HiTIES) which forms part of the Spectrographic Imaging Facility (SIF), located at Longyearbyen, Svalbard in Norway. The platform also co...
