| Description: |
AbstractWe performed observations of pulsating aurora (PsA) with an optical spectrograph at Tromsø, Norway, during wintertime in 2016–2017. The data analysis of multiple PsA events revealed the PsA spectra for the first time. As the results, the OI 630.0‐nm emissions and the N₂ 1PG emissions were found in the both spectra during brighter (ON) and darker (OFF) phases in the PsA events. The spectra of pulsations were derived as difference spectra between the ON and OFF spectra. From the obtained spectra of pulsations, it is found that dominant pulsations at 630.0 nm were coming from the N₂ 1PG (10,7) band, and there were less or minor contributions of the OI 630.0 nm to pulsations at 630.0 nm. see all

| Dataset Reference: |
The spectrograph data can be available on request to T. T. Tsuda (takuo.tsuda@uec.ac.jp) or can be available directly at the website for the spectrograph (http://ttt01.cei.uec.ac.jp/sg01/). The sensitivity calibrations for the spectrograph were done by using the integrated sphere light source at National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan. The infrastructure for the spectrograph is supplied by Tromsø Geophysical Observatory (TGO), The Arctic University of Norway (UiT). The OMNI data, shown in Supporting Information S1, were obtained by using Space Physics Environment Data Analysis Software (SPEDAS) (http://spedas.org/) with a plug‐in software developed by Inter‐university Upper atmosphere Global Observation NETwork (IUGONET) (http://www.iugonet.org/). |
