Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) radiative cooling, seen as infrared emissions, plays an important role in the energy budget of thermosphere during geomagnetic storms. These emissions serve as a significant heat sink for the thermosphere and facilitate its recovery from the enhanced density and kinetic energy caused by increased Joule heating. Hence, the knowledge of latitudinal distribution of these emissions becomes significant considering the importance of the recovery time duration of the global thermosphere as a consequence of geomagnetic storms. This study discusses the dominating role of storm induced meridional winds, generated due to the Joule heating in the polar regions, in controlling the latitudinal distribution of NO infrared radiative cooling emissions during the two most severe geomagnetic storms of the 25 t h $25\mathrm{t}\mathrm{h}$ solar cycle (10–11 May, and 10–11 October 2024). During the May 11 event, the peak NO infrared radiative cooling events shifted from the high-latitudes (30–83 ° ${}^{\circ}$ N) to low-latitude (10 ° ${}^{\circ}$ S–30 ° ${}^{\circ}$ N) regions, whereas for the October 11 event, most of the emissions were located in 30–83 ° ${}^{\circ}$ N, and 0–52 ° ${}^{\circ}$ S latitude regions. The roles of background seasonal winds, and their associated compositional changes, and the solar energetic radiation (Extreme Ultraviolet or EUV) in modulating the latitudinal variations in the thermospheric NO infrared radiative cooling during both these events, and their consequences for space weather studies are presented.

一氧化氮(NO)辐射冷却(表现为红外辐射)在地磁暴期间热层的能量预算中发挥着重要作用。这些辐射是热层的一个重要散热器,有助于热层从焦耳热增加导致的密度和动能增强中恢复过来。因此,考虑到地磁暴对全球热层恢复时间长短的影响,了解这些排放物的纬度分布具有重要意义。本研究讨论了在 25 t h $25\mathrm{t}\mathrm{h}$ 太阳周期(5 月 10-11 日和 2024 年 10 月 10-11 日)的两次最严重地磁暴期间,风暴诱发的经向风(由于极区焦耳加热而产生)在控制 NO 红外辐射冷却辐射纬度分布方面的主导作用。在5月11日的事件中,氮氧化物红外辐射冷却峰值从高纬度地区(30-83 ° ${}^{circ}$ N)转移到了低纬度地区(10 ° ${}^{circ}$ S-30 ° ${}^{circ}$ N),而在10月11日的事件中,大部分辐射位于30-83 ° ${}^{circ}$ N和0-52 ° ${}^{circ}$ S纬度地区。介绍了背景季节风及其相关成分变化和太阳高能辐射(极紫外线或 EUV)在调节这两次事件期间热层 NO 红外辐射冷却的纬度变化中的作用及其对空间天气研究的影响。
