Abstract

Abstract

Space weather has important effects on the Earth and near-Earth space, while large space weather events have different effects on the dynamics and composition of the pelagic atmosphere. The Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) is used to simulate the effects of three types of events on atmospheric parameters of high altitude atmospheric parameters in the near space, atmospheric temperature, density and ozone through F_10.7, ion production rate, Kp, and Ap index settings, respectively, for solar flares, solar protons and geomagnetic storms. The results show that flare events have the most significant effect on the temperature and density of the near space atmosphere among the three types of events, and the increase in stratospheric atmospheric temperature is caused by the photochemical reaction caused by stratospheric ozone absorption of ultraviolet radiation caused by the enhancement of radiation during the solar flare event, the increase of temperature in stratosphere and low thermosphere is roughly 2~3 K, and the relative density of the lower thermosphere increases within 6%. Solar proton events and geomagnetic storm events mainly affect the low thermosphere, but solar proton events and magnetic storm events disturb the temperature of the lower thermosphere by no more than 1 K.
