Measurements of auroral absorption have been made using a system of five riometers located near Baie St. Paul, P.Q., Canada, (invariant latitude 60°N) and by one riometer at Eights, Antarctica, which is magnetically conjugate to Baie St. Paul. The five-riometer system provides spatial information about the absorption within a radius of about 150 km from the site. Observations with the five-way system show the absorption increasing steeply to the north with absorption gradient directed normal to L-shells. Typically, the events are more structured to the north with significant differences in correlation distance observed as a function of latitude and time of dayE Some night events appear to move across the site from north to south in a manner which suggests they are diffusing out from a center of activity which usually remains to the north. Evidence for a seasonal change in magnetic conjugacy between Baie St. Paul and Eights is also presented.
