Quantifying movement behaviour of vessels in the Antarctic krill fishery CCAMLR Science, 2009 (Ref: 14090)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ten years of recent fine-scale haul-by-haul krill data were used to characterise the … behaviour of the krill fishery. Analysis of distance between hauls in relation to their catch … level revealed a distinct pattern.

The history of the discovery of emperor penguin colonies, 1902–2004 Polar Record, 2009 (Ref: 14085)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This article summarises the history of the discovery of emperor penguin Aptenodytes forsteri colonies. Emperor penguins were probably first seen on James Cook’s second voyage (1773–1775) but were not recorded as a … separate species until 1844.

Global Muon Detector Network Observing Geomagnetic Storm’s Precursor Since March 2001 Proceedings of the 31st International Cosmic Ray Conference, Lodz, Poland, 2009 (Ref: 14080)
Category 3: Conference paper

We use complementary observations … from the prototype Global Muon Detector Network … (GMDN) and the Advanced Composition Explorer … satellite to identify precursors of geomagnetic storm … events. The GMDN was completed in March 2006 … with the installation of the Kuwait detector…

Category 3: Conference paper

We analyze the precursory anisotropy … of a Forbush decrease observed with the multidirectional … muon detector at S˜ao Martinho in Brazil … on December 14, 2006. By subtracting contribution … from the diurnal anisotropy precisely determined by … the GlobalMuon Detector Network (GMDN)…

First Observations of Simultaneous Inter-hemispheric Conjugate High-latitude Thermospheric Winds Eos Trans. AGU, 90(52), Fall Meet. Suppl., 2009 (Ref: 14073)
Category 3: Abstract

We report the first observations of simultaneous high-latitude interhemispheric … F-region neutral wind fields by combining the 630 nm optical … measurements from two scanning Doppler imagers (SDI) and three … Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) for a period exceeding 5 hours.

A southern hemisphere survey of meteor shower radiants and associated stream orbits using single station radar observations Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 (Ref: 14087)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The 33.2 MHz interferometric meteor radars located at Davis Station, Antarctica and Darwin, Australia typically detect around 15 000 specular underdense meteor echoes every day.

Research by the Tasmanian cosmic ray group during the International Geophysical Year Advances in Space Research, 2009 (Ref: 14074)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Systematic recording of the cosmic radiation commenced in Hobart in 1946 and at Mawson in Antarctica in 1955, making these two … of the longest running cosmic ray observatories in the world. For the IGY, observations were also made at a sub-Antarctic island and … near the equator…
