Summary: | Two brief experimental campaigns have been conducted in Norway and in Alaska, using four commercial comunications receivers, to confirm the suspected existence of auroral phenomena-associated radio noise in the 100 kHz range. While the Alaskan experiment yielded signals attributable to auroral processes on nearly one-half of the nights monitored, the Norway data identified only one such event. A proposed geophysical observatory in Antarctica is noted to furnish an ideal platform for experiments of this type. |
