Doppler Shifted Auroral Hydrogen Lyman‐Alpha Spectra Observed by DMSP/SSUSI

Abstract Proton auroras, when viewed from space, are subjected to Doppler red shifts. Reports on space‐based observations of Doppler shift of H Lyman‐alpha (Ly‐α) spectral line associated with proton precipitation are still scarce. This study, as a first attempt, extracts Doppler shifted H Ly‐α spec...
