Plasma-density and electron-temperature profiles were measured during the auroral modelling campaign ARIES. This campaign consisted of two rockets launched in the auroral E region under different geophysical conditions. The plasma-density and electron-temperature behaviours were tentatively related to the energy and intensity of the ionizing primary-electron fluxes. It is concluded that the plasma-density height distribution can be used to estimate the primary-electrons energy. The set of data presented is sufficiently complete to allow, when used together with other types of experiments such as the height distribution of the optical intensity and the high-energy electron spectra, the achievement of the objective of the ARIES multi-instrument campaign, i.e., refinement of the auroral model.

ABSTRACTAn integrated experimental – simulation – control theory approach designed to enable adaptive control of microstructural evolution in polycrystalline metals is described. A micro-heater array, containing ten addressable channels, is used to create desired temperature profiles across thin polycrystalline films in situ to a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The goal is that on heating with controlled temperature profiles, the evolution of grain growth within the film can be continuously monitored and compared to Monte Carlo simulations of trajectories towards a desired microstructure. Feed-forward and feedback control strategies are then used to guide the microstructure along the desired trajectory.

Plasma Nitridation

We present a non-invasive approach for monitoring plasma parameters such as the electron temperature and density inside a radio-frequency (RF) plasma nitridation device using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) in conjunction with multivariate data analysis. Instead of relying on a theoretical model of the plasma emission to extract plasma parameters from the OES, an empirical correlation was established on the basis of simultaneous OES and other diagnostics. Additionally, we developed a machine learning (ML)-based virtual metrology model for real-time Te and ne monitoring in plasma nitridation processes using an in situ OES sensor. The results showed that the prediction accuracy of electron density was 97% and that of electron temperature was 90%. This method is especially useful in plasma processing because it provides in-situ and real-time analysis without disturbing the plasma or interfering with the process.

<p>The widespread presence of meteoric smoke particles (MSPs) within a distinct class of stratospheric aerosol particles has become clear from in-situ measurements in the Arctic, Antarctic and at mid-latitudes.<br> <br>We apply an adapted version of the interactive stratosphere aerosol configuration of the composition-climate model UM-UKCA, to predict the global distribution of meteoric-sulphuric particles nucleated heterogeneously on MSP cores. We compare the UM-UKCA results to new MSP-sulphuric simulations with the European stratosphere-troposphere chemistry-aerosol modelling system IFS-CB05-BASCOE-GLOMAP.</p><p><br>The simulations show a strong seasonal cycle in meteoric-sulphuric particle abundance results from the winter-time source of MSPs transported down into the stratosphere in the polar vortex. Coagulation during downward transport sees high latitude MSP concentrations reduce from ~500 per cm3 at 40km to ~20 per cm3 at 25km, the uppermost extent of the stratospheric aerosol particle layer (the Junge layer).<br> <br>Once within the Junge layer's supersaturated environment, meteoric-sulphuric particles form readily on the MSP cores, growing to 50-70nm dry-diameter (Dp) at 20-25km. Further inter-particle coagulation between these non-volatile particles reduces their number to 1-5 per cc at 15-20km, particle sizes there larger, at Dp ~100nm.</p><p><br>The model predicts meteoric-sulphurics in high-latitude winter comprise >90% of Dp>10nm particles above 25km, reducing to ~40% at 20km, and ~10% at 15km.<br> <br>These non-volatile particle fractions are slightly less than measured from high-altitude aircraft in the lowermost Arctic stratosphere (Curtius et al., 2005; Weigel et al., 2014), and consistent with mid-latitude aircraft measurements of lower stratospheric aerosol composition (Murphy et al., 1998), total particle concentrations  also matching in-situ balloon measurements from Wyoming (Campbell and Deshler, 2014).<br> <br>The MSP-sulphuric interactions also improve agreement with SAGE-II observed stratospheric aerosol extinction in the quiescent 1998-2002 period. <br> <br>Simulations with a factor-8-elevated MSP input form more Dp>10nm meteoric-sulphurics, but the increased number sees fewer growing to Dp ~100nm, the increased MSPs reducing the stratospheric aerosol layer’s light extinction.</p>
