摘要: The thicknesses of forty independent homogeneous auroral arcs that occurred directly above Fort Churchill during 1958 were measured. measured values for the thickness in range 3.5 to 18.2 km; average was 9.1 km. increase with geomagnetic activity. No significant daily or seasonal variation found.
