Energetic Particle Flux over the Arctic from PEM (11/9/91)

Visualizations by Horace Mitchell Released on April 9, 1999

UARS measures the flux of energetic particles from space using the Particle Environment Monitor, PEM. These high energy particles cause ozone depletion at high altitudes by producing nitrogen and hydrogen radicals.
