Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the lower ionospheric properties based on the magnetic amplitude from the world wide VLF/LF transmitters in Antarctica. Seven transmitter stations were identified from short-term observations on West Ongul Island, which has little electromagnetic interference. During this project, we developed the VLF/LF observation system consisting of orthogonal cross loop, pre- and main amplifiers, A/D signal processing unit, recording unit and observation software. The developed observation system was installed in Syowa base, Antarctica after test observations in Japan. In Syowa base, we successfully identified the two stations and derived the diurnal pattern of the magnetic amplitude during continuous observation over two years despite strong electromagnetic interference. In the future, we will continue analyzing our precious long-term data and study the lower ionospheric response from parameters related to global lightning activity, space weather.
