ATMOCIAD: the ATomic and MOlecular cross-section for ionization and aurora database
Studying aurora and airglow in planetary atmospheres necessitates an accurate understanding of atomic and molecular cross-sections for ionization, excitation, and dissociation. However, model inter-comparisons often result in discrepancies due to differences in cross-section input data rather than the underlying physical approximations. To address this issue, we introduce the Atomic and Molecular Cross-section for Ionization and Aurora Database, ATMOCIAD, a comprehensive database of cross-sections for the main atmospheric species in the solar system, and beyond. ATMOCIAD currently includes photon and electron impact data, with ongoing efforts to expand coverage to proton and hydrogen impacts. By incorporating cross-sections from various sources and providing set recommendations based on energy-loss computations, ATMOCIAD offers a more consistent and reliable foundation for studying the interactions between stellar radiation and planetary atmospheres.
期刊介绍:
The COSPAR publication Advances in Space Research (ASR) is an open journal covering all areas of space research including: space studies of the Earth''s surface, meteorology, climate, the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the solar system, upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of the Earth and planets including reference atmospheres, space plasmas in the solar system, astrophysics from space, materials sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, space debris, space weather, Earth observations of space phenomena, etc.
NB: Please note that manuscripts related to life sciences as related to space are no more accepted for submission to Advances in Space Research. Such manuscripts should now be submitted to the new COSPAR Journal Life Sciences in Space Research (LSSR).
All submissions are reviewed by two scientists in the field. COSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization concerned with the progress of space research on an international scale. Operating under the rules of ICSU, COSPAR ignores political considerations and considers all questions solely from the scientific viewpoint.
