A statistical study of polar cap flow channels observed in both hemispheres using SuperDARN radars
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2022 This paper details the first large-scale, interhemispheric statistical study into ionospheric fast flow (>900 m/s) channels in the polar cap using the SuperDARN radar network.

Electron precipitation characteristics during isolated, compound, and multi-night substorm events [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 A set of 24 isolated, 46 compound, and 36 multi-night substorm events from the years 2008–2013 have been analysed in this study. Isolated substorm events are defined as single expansion–recovery phase pairs, compound substorms consist of multiple phase ...

Reconfiguration and closure of lobe flux by reconnection during northward IMF: possible evidence for signatures in cusp/cleft auroral emissions [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1999 Observations are presented of the response of the dayside cusp/cleft aurora to changes in both the clock and elevation angles of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) vector, as monitored by the WIND spacecraft.

Auroral all-sky camera calibration [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2014 A two-step procedure to calibrate the spectral sensitivity to visible light of auroral all-sky cameras is outlined. Center pixel response is obtained by the use of a Lambertian surface and a standard 45 W tungsten lamp.

An emerging pathway of Atlantic Water to the Barents Sea through the Svalbard Archipelago: drivers and variability [PDF]
Ocean ScienceThe Barents Sea, an important component of the Arctic Ocean, is experiencing changes in its ocean currents, stratification, sea ice variability, and marine ecosystems. Inflowing Atlantic Water (AW) is a key driver of these changes.

Conceptual model for talus slope development in Brattegg Valley (SW Spitsbergen) based on sedimentology of debris deposits in periglacial zone [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2023 The talus slopes occur in all climatic zones on the Earth. These forms are sensitive to climate fluctuations, therefore they may be indicators of changes in the environment and contain the record of the geomorphological events after the deglaciation ...
