Abstract

The auroral data observed by all sky TV camera during 1995 and 1997 at Zhongshan Station of Antarctica are used to analyze the statistic characteristics of the aurora over Zhongshan Station. Around post-noon (1200 - 1600 UT) and midnight (2000 - 0100 UT),. The corona type auroras mainly occur at poleward and overhead of Zhongshan Station during post-noon and around midnight. The band type auroras mainly appear during post-noon, while during evening and around midnight only appear at equatorward. The active surges mostly appear around midnight, while the transpolar arcs mainly occur after midnight. Except for the transpolar arcs, the occurrences of the other three type auroras are related with Kþ index. Usually Zhongshan Station enters the auroral oval at post-noon, the exact time depends on Kþ index.
