Flux calibration of the Herschel -SPIRE photometer
We describe the procedure used to flux calibrate the three-band submillimetre photometer in the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory. This includes the equations describing the calibration scheme, a justification for using Neptune as the primary calibration source, a description of the observations and data processing procedures used to derive f...
متن کاملProcesses of auroral thermal structure at Jupiter: Analysis of multispectral temperature observations with the Jupiter Thermosphere General Circulation Model
[1] We use our three-dimensional Jupiter Thermosphere General Circulation Model (JTGCM) to quantify thermal processes that take place in the auroral thermosphere. These processes tend to control the thermal budget in the Jovian ovals and polar caps and maintain thermospheric temperatures consistent with those derived from multispectral observations of Jupiter’s aurora. The main heat source in t...
متن کاملDesign, construction and calibration of single channel sun-photometer for study of aerosols
Aerosols are tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the air have a strong influence on air quality, human health and climate change. Sun-photometer is a tool for measuring the optical and physical characteristics of aerosols by using sunlight at various wavelengths from the Earth surface. In this paper, the design, construction, and calibration of a single channel sun-photometer is present...
متن کاملA possible auroral signature of a magnetotail reconnection process on Jupiter
[1] Several theoretical models and in situ observations consistently suggest that the process of nightside reconnection associated with Earth’s magnetospheric substorms is also taking place in the midnight tail region of Jupiter. We report the observation of a new auroral feature which takes the form of isolated spots appearing near the northern duskmidnight limb, poleward of the main auroral o...
متن کاملJupiter Thermospheric General Circulation Model (JTGCM): Global structure and dynamics driven by auroral and Joule heating
[1] A growing multispectral database plus recent Galileo descent measurements are being used to construct a self-consistent picture of the Jupiter thermosphere/ionosphere system. The proper characterization of Jupiter’s upper atmosphere, embedded ionosphere, and auroral features requires the examination of underlying processes, including the feedbacks of energetics, neutral-ion dynamics, compos...
