Published purpose
The project is entitled 'Suprathermal electrons in the geospace environment and their effects on the upper atmosphere'. Using data from six Canadian space instruments, together with auroral observations made from the ground, the project team will improve models of the aurora to include the effect of the hot electrons that give rise to the aurora. The improved model will enhance our knowledge of the near-Earth space environment and energy input in the upper atmosphere.
