Atmospheric Ionizations by Solar X-Rays, Solar Protons, and Radiation Belt Electrons in September 2017 Space Weather Event
Published in Studies in Japanese Literature and Culture, 2023
Atmospheric ionization by energetic particles is examined for September 2017 space weather event
Solar X-rays, solar protons, and radiation belt electrons as observed by satellites are used for Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS)-simulation inputs
Those ionizations in the mesosphere measured by ground-based instruments are reasonably reproduced by the PHITS simulation
