Abstract

A new auroral imaging system is reported which is planned to be deployed at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica in the end of 2009. The system will focus on study of optical auroras in small scales and be called China's Auroral Fine-structure Imaging System (CAFIS). The project of CAFIS is carried out by support of the tenth five-year plan for capacity building of China. CAFIS will be a powerful ground-based platform for aurora observational experiments. Composing and advantages of CAFIS are introduced in this brief report. Some potential study topics involved CAFIS are also considered.
