Atmospheric and ionospheric impacts of energetic particle precipitation (EPP) from Earth’s ring current and radiation belts

Explore and establish the consequences of and causal role between energetic particle precipitation (i.e., ring current, radiation belt, and solar energetic particles) and: i) transient events of mesospheric NOx and HOx production, ozone depletion, and stratospheric and tropospheric warming and ii) localized, transient structures and sporadic intensification of the D- and E-region ionospheres.
