Daytime measurements of optical auroral emissions from Antarctica

Abstract

Optical methods have enabled to detect auroral emissions during daytime conditions, and to identify a narrow latitudinal region of energetic particle precipitation from the Indian station Maitri (11 deg38`E; 70deg45`S; 62.8degS I-lat.) in Antarctica. These observations are new. The energetic particles originate within the closed geomagnetic field lines close to the plasmapause region and maximize {approx} 0830 h MLT (magnetic local time) ({approx}1200 UT). Enhanced proton precipitation activity could also be inferred during a moderate geomagnetic storm, suggesting the enhancement/activation of acceleration mechanisms during this event.
