Identifying the 630 nm auroral arc emission height: A comparison of the triangulation, FAC profile, and electron density methods
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present a comprehensive survey of 630 nm (red‐line) emission discrete auroral arcs using the newly deployed Redline Emission Geospace Observatory. In this study we discuss the need for observations of 630 nm aurora and issues with the large‐altitude range of the red‐line aurora. We compare field‐aligned currents (FACs) measured by the Swarm constellation of satellites with the location of 10 red‐line (630 nm) auroral arcs observed by all‐sky imagers (ASIs) and find that a characteristic emission height of 200 km applied to the ASI maps gives optimal agreement between the two observations. We also compare the new FAC method against the traditional triangulation method using pairs of all‐sky imagers (ASIs), and against electron density profiles obtained from the Resolute Bay Incoherent Scatter Radar‐Canadian radar, both of which are consistent with a characteristic emission height of 200 km.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
