Phenomenology of Arctic Particle Precipitation.

Abstract

The report describes briefly results of the projects which had been carried out in assisting the airborne operation of the AFCRL Flying Laboratory. The authors analyzed most of all-sky photographs and some ionograms taken during the flights and ground magnetic records from auroral zone stations for all the flight periods, and have confirmed the existence of a circum-polar oval band of auroras, the auroral oval and the associated ionospheric structure during both quiet and distrubed periods (substorm periods).
