Ground-level detection of LF and MF high latitude terrestrial emissions

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.

Description
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.
