Atmospheric observational and model datasets: Spatial distributions of nitric oxide (NO) in the winter time, high latitude Southern hemisphere atmosphere

The data are from a study investigating nitric oxide (NO) variability in the polar mesosphere and lower thermosphere during geomagnetic storms, and the role of energetic electron precipitation in NO production. The datasets include 1) processed atmospheric datasets derived from selected NO observations by the AIM-SOFIE satellite instrument, 2) estimated electron and proton fluxes derived from POES/MEPED/SEM-2 measurements, 3) zonal and meridional wind speeds calculated using the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM14), and 4) geomagnetic indices, solar wind speed, and solar proton event (SPE) data.

Funding was provided by the NERC grants NE/J022187/1 and NE/R016038/1, and the New Zealand Marsden Fund.

Statement
The quality of the original data used to generate the datasets are described in cited papers for the Solar Occultation For Ice Experiment (SOFIE), the second generation Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2) Medium Energy Proton and Electron Detector instrument (MEPED), the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM14), and published geomagnetic indices. The data processing to generate the intermediate and final datasets, including data selection, binning, calculation of best estimates and errors, and statistical analyses has been quality checked by the PI / lead data creator (Newnham).
