Brief Description (Abstract):

To conduct an exploratory study of (1) monitoring the auroral emissions during sunlit conditions from Maitri, which is classified as a subauroral station. (2) studying the spatial variations of the different auroral emissions excited by high energy and low energy electrons and protons by scanning the region of emission and (3) establishing the relative contributions under varying geophysical conditions, with a view to eventually study the fundamental auroral processes during daytime conditions from the solar terrestrial physics point of view.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The above exploratory study is the first of its kind in the world and has been successfully carried out using a unique, indigenously built multi wavelength daytime photometer. The development of an instrument of this type itself is a technological breakthrough and the details were provided during the XIII expedition report. Interesting results indicating significant particle precipitation activities in a narrow latitudinal region over and around Maitri were discovered and it was conjectured that as the field lines passing through Maitri, when get mapped to the equatorial plane cut across the plasma pause region, these measurements indirectly give us clues to the complex processes that occur in the boundary between the plasmasphere and magnetosphere.
