Scientists note that the analysis of light spectra helps to identify energy sources and particle splitting processes in the upper atmosphere. This knowledge not only expands fundamental astrophysics, but also helps to predict the impact of cosmic radiation on satellites and aviation.

To test the hypotheses, the project participants combined data from ground-based installations and satellite instruments using complex plasma physics models. The results promise to improve space weather maps and increase the resilience of technologies dependent on the space environment.
