Antarktis-bibliografi er en database over den norske Antarktis-litteraturen.

Hensikten med bibliografien er å synliggjøre norsk antarktisforskning og annen virksomhet/historie i det ekstreme sør. Bibliografien er ikke komplett, spesielt ikke for nyere forskning, men den blir oppdatert.

Norsk er her definert som minst én norsk forfatter, publikasjonssted Norge eller publikasjon som har utspring i norsk forskningsprosjekt.

Antarktis er her definert som alt sør for 60 grader. I tillegg har vi tatt med Bouvetøya.

Det er ingen avgrensing på språk (men det meste av innholdet er på norsk eller engelsk). Eldre norske antarktispublikasjoner (den eldste er fra 1894) er dominert av kvalfangst og ekspedisjoner. I nyere tid er det den internasjonale polarforskninga som dominerer. Bibliografien er tverrfaglig; den dekker både naturvitenskapene, politikk, historie osv. Skjønnlitteratur er også inkludert, men ikke avisartikler eller upublisert materiale.

Til høyre finner du en «HELP-knapp» for informasjon om søkemulighetene i databasen. Mange referanser har lett synlige lenker til fulltekstversjon av det aktuelle dokumentet. For de fleste tidsskriftartiklene er det også lagt inn sammendrag.

Bibliografien er produsert ved Norsk Polarinstitutts bibliotek.

    A number of campaigns have been conducted in order to study Polar Mesosphere Summer Echos (PMSE) and Noctilucent Clouds (NLC) in the period 1991–1994. Several sounding rockets have been launched through these layers with measurements being performed on upleg as well as downleg. These include measurements of positive ions and electrons in both ram and wake positions, as well as measurements of charged aerosols in ram on upleg. In this paper we will review these measurements and make a preliminary classification of the data based upon the presence of PMSE and/or NLC. One of the mechanisms responsible for PMSE is the presence of neutral air turbulence in combination with a high Schmidt number. We will briefly discuss this type of echo using in situ rocket data. Differences and similarities of PMSE and NLC as observed both in the Arctic and the Antarctic will be discussed. Observations show that especially PMSE are much more frequent in the Arctic. This may be due to a difference in the water vapour content or the temperature at mesopause heights. Lack of data in the Antarctic makes it difficult to decide which of these two factors are the most important. More measurements, especially co-ordinated in situ and ground-based lidar and radar measurements, are needed to discuss the Arctic and Antarctic similarities and differences in further detail.

Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 65(4), 417–427. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1364-6826(02)00198-0

    A large database of rocket measurements of the D-region electron concentration has been studied. The data were obtained at four sites in the Antarctic (Molodezhnaya and Syowa) and Arctic (Heiss Island, and Andøya/Kiruna). The electron densities were analysed in terms of their variations with solar zenith angle, geomagnetic activity and atmospheric temperature. We found that there is a particle ionisation source in the auroral oval even in quiet conditions. The energy of the particles is such, that they penetrate down to 85km, are partially absorbed between 85 and 80km but do not penetrate (are completely absorbed) below 75km. Analysis of the dependence of the electron concentration [e] on the daily sum of Kp indices, ∑Kp, shows that at all heights considered there is an increase of [e] with ∑Kp up to some saturation value of ∑Kp and beyond this level [e] is either constant (with large scatter of the data) or even decreases. This indicates that when the auroral oval expands with increasing geomagnetic activity, a particular station may move from a position outside or at the boundary of the oval, to a position inside the polar cap. An attempt is made to find the temperature dependence of the electron concentration. It is found that [e] at 75 and 80km increases with temperature T. Analysis of the flights conducted during noctilucent cloud (NLC) events at Andøya/Kiruna reveals a strong dependence of [e] on ∑Kp at 80 and 85km. This dependence is stronger and better defined than that for the entire data set. This may be explained by the low mesopause temperatures observed in summer when NLC occur. A comparison of the electron density data sets with empirical and theoretical models is presented and during quiet magnetic conditions a good agreement with mid-latitude models is found.

    A large set of rocket measurements of the electron concentration [e] in the upper D region at four rocket sites (Molodezhnaya (Antarctic), Heiss Island (Arctic), Syowa (Antarctic), and Andoya/Kiruna (Arctic)) is considered. The dependence of [e] on the solar zenith angle X and geomagnetic activity index ∑Kp is analyzed. It has been shown that, the spread in [e] values reaches two orders of magnitude at any assigned value of χ. Nevertheless, it is possible to draw a lower envelope for the entire set of points and to obtain the [e] variation with χ in undisturbed conditions. In an analysis of the envelopes, it is seen that a corpuscular ionization source (presumably, electrons with an energy of above 40 keV) exists in the nonsunlit D region even in quiet conditions. An analysis of the electron concentration dependence on the daily sum of ∑Kp indices (∑Kp) shows that, at all heights considered, increases [e] with increasing ∑Kp to a certain boundary value ∑Kp and then remains either constant (with a rather wide spread in the data) or even decreases. This saturation effect may be caused by the auroral oval equatorward motion. As a result of this motion the site position may change: it may move toward the boundary between the auroral oval and polar cap or even be within the latter. The slope k of the [e] variation plotted versus ∑Kp at different χ is considered. It is shown that k grows with increasing χ and is maximal at χ> 100°.
