Abstract

Day-side aurora phenomena are examined by using TV image data obtained at Ny-Alesund in Svalbard, Godhavn in Greenland and Zhongshan Station, Antarctica. Results are summarized as follows. During the quiet period, in the pre- and post-noon sectors. (1) Weak arc (Sun-aligned arc), (2) Corona aurora and (3) Band aurora are observed in these stations. During disturbed period, Corona aurora and Band aurora are also observed in the pre- and post-noon sectors. However, bright discrete aurora, instead of weak arc (Sun-aligned arc), develops from the night side oval in the dawn and dusk sectors. Pre-noon corona and post-noon band aurora are observed in the lower latitude as compared with the location of those auroras during the quiet period.
