PCA effects on a VLF transantarctic propagation path
We present a study of polar cap absorption events occurred from September 1967 to November 1974 and their effects on phase records of very low frequency (VLF) signals on NWC (Australia)-Sao Paulo (Brazil) propagation path, crossing the Antarctic continent. Nearly 50 PCAs from that period, of differe...

We present a study of polar cap absorption events occurred from September 1967 to November 1974 and their effects on phase records of very low frequency (VLF) signals on NWC (Australia)-Sao Paulo (Brazil) propagation path, crossing the Antarctic continent. Nearly 50 PCAs from that period, of different intensities, were studied and the most relevant ones were analyzed in more detail. A good correlation between nighttime VLF signal phase advances and total proton flux content of energy 10MeV<E<30MeV measured by satellites (Explorer 34 and 41,NOAA 2 and 3 and ATS-1) was obtained for strong PCA events.
