| Description | Auroral north-south keograms taken by the white-light all-sky imager (made by Watec) at Tjornes (TJO), Iceland. This observation started in September, 2009. The north-south keogram is time-series of north-south cuts of auroral images and is used to see the north-south motion of aurora. The original images were taken every second. Around the autumn and spring equinoxes (March and September), aurora can sometimes be simultaneously observed at both Syowa and Iceland stations. |
