New Approach to the Construction of the Earth's Upper Atmosphere Model Using the Satellite Local Data on the Atmosphere

摘要

The present-day models of the Earth's upper atmosphere make it possible to construct the spatial—temporal pattern of variations in the atmospheric parameters on the planetary scale in essence in the averaged form. The set of data on the satellite deceleration in the atmosphere, probe measurements aboard geophysical rockets, and radiowave incoherent scatter measurements in the Earth's atmosphere are used to construct these standard models. The current level of the space studies makes it possible to use a new method to study the Earth's upper atmosphere: to study the upper atmosphere by measuring the absorption of the solar XUV radiation by the Earth's atmosphere during the solar disk observations.
