ID-423 :   Comparison between polar aurora activity and optical phenomena at Brazilian geomagnetic anomaly region

Type

FIELDWORK

Research/Observation Title

Comparison between polar aurora activity and optical phenomena at Brazilian geomagnetic anomaly region

Science Summary (common)

Solar activity is now increasing and it is expected that geomagnetic storm will frequently occur within a few years. It is reported that number of radiation particle increases during geomagnetic storm period. It suggests that particle precipitation at Brazilian geomagnetic anomaly region is also enhanced in this time. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between polar aurora activity and optical phenomena at Brazilian geomagnetic anomaly by using optical data obtained at similar longitudinal location.
