Abstract
The association of infrasonic waves in the atmosphere with auroral and magnetic activity is well recognized. Observations within the northern auroral zone suggest that the occurrence and the characteristics of most of the infrasonic disturbances associated with aurorae can be accounted for by the supersonic movement of large scale auroral forms.
