Abstract
A few rocket measurements of the energy spectrum of auroral electrons have been made during recent years. McIlwain (1960) fired sounding rockets into visual aurora and a Canadian Group (McDiarmid et al., 1961) studied electrons and protons associated with auroral radio absorption. These investigations, which were carried out from the Canadian range at Fort Churchill, were limited to the energy range for electrons above 40 keV.
Formerly at the Kiruna Geophysical Observatory, Kiruna C, Sweden.
