Boreal winter comparison of auroral images from Polar UVI and IMAGE FUV

J.F. Spann, G. Germany, W. Maddox, M. Fillingim, G. Parks, and S. Mende


Same-scene images made with Polar UVI and IMAGE FUV are compared for the boreal
winter of 2000-2001. The results of the comparison are used to determine whether
the use of both instruments could lead to a better evaluation of the average
precipitation and total energy input than with either one individually. These
results are a part of a broader investigation to quantitatively compare
conjugate images using both instruments and to correlate observed asymmetries
with solar wind and seasonal parameters.
