| Research Abstract |
We have developed an all-sky-imajor (ASI) which has been operative at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during 1999 to 2000 austral winter seasons. The fundamental operation has been carried out from our Institute through the satellite internet. All data are successfully obtained and their archived data-base are open to scientific community over the world.
M.Okada, Y.Suzuki and S.Takeshita have been at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station for ASI maintenance, calibration, raw data collection, and giving an instruction to technicians who were staying there over the winter. All logistics are provided through the National Science Foundation, U.S.A.under the Agreement with our Institute.
We have found the new auroral dynamics associated with the magnetospheric disturbance, which have been also revealed by the conjunction with HF radar observations.
These preliminary results have been presented at AGU (American Geophysical Union), EGS (European Geophysical Society), COSAR and other symposiums.
As for the conjunction of the auroral studies with other projects, we have performed the joint operation with HF radar, the satellite (DMSP) as well as the ground instruments at Chinese Zhongshan Station and ALIS (Auroral Large-scal Imaging System) in Sweden.
