Reverse Convection Potential Saturation in the Polar Ionosphere
… of the reverse convection potentials in the day side high latitude ionosphere during periods of steady northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) are reported. While it has been shown that the polar cap potential in the ionosphere exhibits non-linear saturation behavior when the IMF …

Ionospheric Sounding During a Total Solar Eclipse
… change that occurs in the ionosphere is the day and night cycle. The ionosphere is not a singular medium, but rather made up of different sections. The day side of the ionosphere consists of a D, E, F1, and F2 layer. The night day of the ionosphere consists of an E and F layer. These layers …

Retrieval of atmospheric properties of extrasolar planets
… of the error surface, given the data. For the day-side of HD 189733b, we place constraints on the atmospheric properties based on three different data sets available. Our best-fit models to one of the data sets allow for very efficient daynight energy redistribution in HD 189733b. The different …

Characterizing Exoplanet Atmospheres: From Light-curve Observations to Radiative-Transfer Modeling
… planets WASP-8b and TrES-1, determining their day-side thermal emission in the infrared spectrum. The emission data of WASP-8b indicated no thermal inversion, and an anomalously high 3.6 micron brightness. Standard solar-abundance models, with or without a thermal inversion, can fit the thermal …

Chemical Characterisations of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
… conditions and histories. The second model considers the observable signatures of clouds in the spectra of transiting planets. We explore three metrics that may provide constraints on cloud properties: the slope in the optical wavelength region, the uniformity of this slope, and features in the …

Effects of solar particle events on Geospace
… coefficient have been determined for both day and night. It was found that, though chemical models predict that the production and recombination process should deviate from a square law, there is actually no evidence for this in the observations. The D- and E-region effects of a co-rotating …

Ultra-Low Frequency Waves at Middle Latitudes During Substorms: Observations and Modeling
… of the Earth can occur at the night side and on the day side of the Earth. The exact mechanism of coupling between the oscillations in the solar wind and the magnetic pulsations detected in these parts of the magnetosphere is discussed.</p> <p>In the second part of the dissertation, …
