P(論文) S-310JA-6 sounding rocket was launched along the geomagnetic field line from Syowa Station, Antarctica at 005600LT on August 28,1978 by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition party. That rocket hit active auroral arcs and brought satisfactory results for investigating the wave phenomena in the aurora. A strong hiss was observed on board from an altitude of 110km on its ascent up to 150km on its descent. However, no hiss was observed on the ground during the period. The hiss activity observed on board corresponded well to the auroral arc's activity. Included among the hiss were the LHR hiss, the electro-static waves, etc. These data will be valuable to investigate the wave-particle interaction in the polar ionosphere. departmental bulletin paper
