We have performed a statistical data analysis on relationship between simultaneous Na density data and cosmic noise absorption (CNA) data, which is an indicator for energetic particle precipitation, obtained at Syowa, Antarctic in 2000–2002. It is found that the Na densities around the topside of Na layers (above $$\sim 95 \,\hbox {km}$$ ∼ 95 km height) tended to be smaller when the CNA was larger. The amounts of Na density responses, i.e., Na density decrease or Na loss, were increasing with magnetic local time (MLT) from dusk hours to dawn hours, and those of CNA responses, i.e., CNA increase, were also increasing with MLT. Thus, there were clear negative correlations between the Na density and CNA variations. These results indicate that the Na loss around the topside of Na layer would be induced by the energetic particle precipitation, and its effect would be more severe in dawn hours.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
