Atmospheric electric field … measurements from the Concordia station on the Antarctic Plateau are … compared with those from Vostok (560 km away) for the period of overlap … (2009–11) and to Carnegie (1915–29) and extended Vostok (2006–11) measurements.
The long-standing mainstay of support for C. T. R. Wilson’s global circuit hypothesis is the similarity … between the diurnal variation of thunderstorm days in universal time and the Carnegie curve of electrical … potential gradient.
In January 2005, members of a Chinese expedition team … were the first humans to visit Dome A on the Antarctic plateau, a site … predicted to be one of the very best astronomical sites on earth. In 2006, the Chinese Center for Antarctic Astronomy (CCAA)…
PLATO is a fully-robotic observatory designed for operation … in Antarctica. It generates its own electricity (about 1kW), heat … (sufficient to keep two 10-foot shipping containers comfortably above … 0◦C when the outside temperature is at −70◦C)…
The THz spectral region includes a number of important … transitions which allow us to trace the evolution of the interstellar … medium. Because of the opacity of the atmosphere in this spectral … range, the best sites for ground-based THz observations are on the … Antarctic Plateau; of these sites…
ABSTRACT. The PLATeau Observatory (PLATO) is an automated self-powered astrophysical observatory that … was deployed to Dome A, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau, in 2008 January.
Statistically significant (at the 95% significance level) changes in daily cloud cover are … found to occur globally over land coincident with extreme increases in ‘fair-weather’ … measurements of vertical electric field (Ez) measured at Vostok, Antarctica.
Pressure variations at 11 Antarctic and 7 Arctic sites show significant day-to-day correlations with a proxy for the … meteorological generators (thunderstorms and strongly electrified clouds) of the atmospheric circuit. The proxy is … derived from electric field measurements at Vostok (78.5ºS…
The atmospheric electric field Ez measured at the Antarctic Plateau station of Vostok made it possible to estimate … the role of the main generators in formation the global electric circuit. In the polar region during the periods with good … weather conditions the classical diurnal curve…
We describe a large-angle survey for fast, optical transients: gamma ray bursts (GRBs), supernovae (SNe), lensed and … transiting planets, AGNs and serendipitously found objects.
Recent data have shown that Dome C, on the Antarctic plateau, is an exceptional site for astronomy, with atmospheric conditions superior to those at any existing mid-latitude site. Dome C, however, may not be the best site on the Antarctic plateau for every kind of astronomy.
Variations in the atmospheric, near-surface vertical electric field measured at the Southern … near-pole station Vostok (78.5(S, 107(E, L=75.0) in 1998, 1999 and 2000 have been analyzed … in conjunction with changes of the ionospheric electric field and interplanetary magnetic field … (IMF).
For over a century, atmospheric electricity data has been collected from all over the world, as well as from space. For the last thirty years, Antarctica has been the observatory site of … choice for atmospheric electricity studies.
