MANIFESTATION OF SOLAR ACTIVITY AND DYNAMICS OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN VARIATIONS OF 577.7 AND 630.0 NM ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS IN SOLAR CYCLE 24
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
In the paper, variations of the night emission intensities in the 557.7 and 630 nm atomic oxygen lines [OI] in 2011–2019 have been analyzed. The analysis is based on data from the ISTP SB RAS Geophysical Observatory. The emission intensities are compared with atmospheric, solar, and geophysical parameters. High correlation coefficients between monthly average and annual average 630.0 nm emission intensities and solar activity indices F10.7 have been obtained. This suggests a key role of solar activity in variations of this emission in the period of interest. Variations of the 557.7 nm emission demonstrate to a greater extent the correlations of the stratospheric zonal wind (QBO.U30 index) with quasi-biennial oscillations. The causes of the weak dependence of the 557.7 nm emission intensity on solar activity in solar cycle 24 are discussed.

Keywords:
