AURORA.jl

| Documentation | DOI | |:-----------------:|:-------:| | docs-stable-img | |

AURORA is a time-dependent multi-stream electron transport code, suitable for modeling ionospheric electron-fluxes during periods of rapidly varying electron-precipitation (sub-second).

This is a Julia implementation of the original AURORA code written in MATLAB and available at https://github.com/egavazzi/AURORA. This version is the one we recommend to use. It is in active development, is much faster (~ 1000x), and produces more accurate results (i.e. bugs have been fixed).

Below is an example of electron flux in the ionosphere produced by AURORA in response to Alfvénic precipitation.

Installation / Documentation

Instructions are available in the documentation.

Descriptions of how the code works are available in Gustavsson (2022), in section 3 of Gavazzi (2022), and in this document.
