Rocket Measurements of Electron Energy Spectra From Earth's Photoelectron Production Layer

Abstract Photoelectrons are crucial to atmospheric physics. They heat the atmosphere, strengthen planetary ambipolar electric fields, and enhance the outflow of ions to space. However, there exist only a handful of measurements of their energy spectrum near the peak of photoproduction. We present ca...
