Remaining tasks:

• Final comparison of obtained results with the SPENVIS and GEANT4 predictions.

• Final analysis of database content.

• Release of final database version.

D5.6 Effects of the Earth upper atmosphere on solar EUV observations

•Goal To reach: Study of atmosphere absorption effects in occultation data of the CORONAS/SPIRIT/TESIS and PROBA2/SWAP/LYRA solar experiments, comparison with models, dependence on solar and geomagnetic activity

• Progress So far:• Analysis of occultation data for max, min

and moderate solar activity in 175 and 304A

• Retrieval of the extinction coefficients by the Tikhonov’s generalized discrepancy method

• Comparison of the measured data with the NRLMSISE-00 and DTM 2013 atmosphere models

• The Deliverable report D5.6 is finishing

CONCLUSIONS• EUV absorption can be used for validation

of atmospheric models• EUV absorption at different levels of solar

activity much better agrees with the DTM 2013 model (FP7 ATMOP project ) than with the NRLMSISE-00 model
