Auroral images and particle precipitations observed by S-310JA-8, -9, and -10 at Syowa Station
Abstract
Three sounding rockets launched in 1984 from Syowa Station, Antarctica, into different types of aurora obtained auroral pictures and measured the energy spectra of auroral particles. The active auroral arc at the substorm expansion phase displayed greater values of auroral emission and electron density than the stable arc prior to the substorm onset. The diffuse aurora during the recovery stage showed enhancement in the D-region.
