Very-Low-Frequency Discrete Emissions received at Conjugate Points

Abstract

IN a recent article1 describing a geomagnetic conjugate point experiment an accurately synchronized pair of spectrograms was shown. As shown in Fig. 1 of that article a sequence of six noise bursts in the 5–6 kc./s. frequency region was observed at both Knob Lake, Canada (68° N., geomagnetic), and at Byrd Station, Antarctica (70° S., geomagnetic); but the sequence began at Knob Lake 0.8 ± 0.1 sec. before it began at Byrd.
