Summary

Abstract: Mapping 38.2 MHz cosmic noise/particle precipitation in [2].7 x 7 beams 12.8 deg, ~200 x 200km at 90km altitude. A Southern Hemisphere Imaging Riometer Experiment. A joint project of the Australian Antactic Division, University of Maryland and the University of Newcastle.

A riometer is essentially a wide-angle radio telescope that is used for studying the aurora.

This work is included in the ongoing ASAC project 877 (ASAC_877).

These data are held on the Space and Atmospheric Sciences servers at the Australian Antarctic Division, and also on DVD at the Australian Antarctic Data Centre.

Quality

Most data are of high quality. However some years have gaps and some bad data. These will be checked at the time of data request.

A detailed readme file is available for download from the URL given below. Please open this for more detailed quality information.

Access Constraints

Data are accessible through the Australian Antarctic Division, via the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. Permission must be obtained from the Chief investigator.

Data are stored on 8 single layer DVDs, and hence are too large to be downloaded online. Contact the Australian Antarctic Data Centre for access to these data.
