Localized mesospheric ozone destruction corresponding to isolated proton aurora coming from Earth’s radiation belt
Abstract Relativistic electron precipitation (REP) from the Earth’s radiation belt plays an important role in mesospheric ozone loss as a connection between space weather and the climate system. However, the rapid (tens of minutes) destruction of mesospheric ozone directly caused by REP has remained...
