Northern Lights
Study is Planned
In IGY Research
Alaska’s aurora or northern
lights will be studied by Dr. Ken
neth C. Clark, University of Wash
ington physics professor, as part
of the International Geophysical
Year, 1957-58.
To conduct the research, Dr.
Clark has been granted a one
year leave of absence from the
University, beginning next July.
He will be on the staff of the
Geophysical Institute at the Uni
versity of Alaska, Dr. C. T. Elvey,
director, announced today.
During the geophysical year,
scientists from 46 nations will
take part in the most extensive
study of the earth ever under
taken.
Dr. Elvey said that Dr. Clark’s
project will be concerned with
the physics of the upper atmos
phere. The auroras . provide the
highest source of information
available on the nature of the
upper atmosphere, he said. The
light sometimes comes from as
high as 1,000 miles. The Institute
has 'been engaged in such studies
for several years.
“By analyzing the light of .the
auroras, we can obtain further
information on the temperature
and composition of the upper at
mosphere and learn more about
how particles radiated frm the
sun cause these lights to be pro
duced,” Dr. Elvey explained.
Institute scientists study the
aurora by photographic and pho
toelecteric methods. Using spec
tographs and other special instru
ments, they analyse the wave
lengths and intensity of the lights.
