Description
Summary:By means of semi-analogue recording of the magnetic tape which was obtained by the Antarctic rocket experiments in 1967-77, details of data processing for deducing the pitch angle distribution of auroral electrons from the observed electron counting rates are described. In this way, a viewing direction of the detector is taken into account against both the spinning and precession motions of rocket.
