Description:Themospheric conditions during a minor geomagnetic event of 3 and 4 February 2022 has been investigated using disk temperature ( Tdisk) observations from Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission and model simulations. GOLD observed that the Tdisk increases by more than 60 K during the storm event when compared with pre-storm quiet days. A comparison of the Tdisk with effective temperatures (Teff, i.e., a weighted average based on airglow emission layer) from Mass Spectrometer Incoherent Scatter radar version 2 (MSIS2) and Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment (MAGE) models shows that MAGE outperforms MSIS2 during this particular event. MAGE underestimates the Teff by about 2%, whereas MSIS2
