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.
