Oceanographic data have been obtained from beneath the Ronne Ice Shelf at a site on the southeastern side of a sea-floor trough, the Ronne Depression. The data consist of 5…Read more on The oceanic environment beneath the northwest Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Simultaneous two hemisphere observations of the presence of polar patches in the nightside ionosphere
1 January, 1994 by Michael Pinnock
The presence of polar patches as observed simultaneously in the same magnetic meridian of opposite nightside ionospheres by coherent and incoherent scatter radars are described.
