Observation of monochromatic auroral images and date processing
A new TV camera was developed and applied to the auroral ovservation at Syowa Station, Antarctica, in 1984. The TV camera is to obtain monochromatic auroral images at the principal auroral emission lines such as 6300Å (OI), 5577Å (OI), 4861Å (Hβ) and 4278Å (1N N_2^+), and band (6000~8000Å; 1P N_2)....
