Physics

Scientific paper

As is well known, Prof. Birkeland has put forward the hypothesis that aurora borealis and magnetic disturbances are due to an ``electric radiation'' coming from the sun. The numerous observations, partly from the regions near the auroral zone, treated by Birkeland in his work ``The Norwegian Aurora Polaris Expedition, 1902-1903'', as well as the theoretical work by Prof. Störmer, have shown that this hypothesis in a very satisfactory way accounts for the characteristic properties of aurora and magnetic disturbances, as well as regards occurrence as with respect to distribution in space relative to the earth.
