| Description | Digital data of auroral keograms taken by the white-light all-sky imager (made by Watec) at Syowa Station, Antarctica. This observation started in September, 2009. The original images were taken at higher temporal resolution than one second. The north-south and east-west keograms are time-series of north-south and east-west cuts of auroral images and are used to see the north-south and east-west motions of aurora, respectively. Around the autumn and spring equinoxes (March and September), aurora can sometimes be simultaneously observed at both Syowa and Iceland stations. |
