A statistical analysis of the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) measurements in the POLRAD experiment on the INTERBALL-2 satellite has revealed a dependences of the size and location of the AKR generation region on geomagnetic activity: the generation region rises upward and expands with increasing magnetic disturbances. Based on our two-year measurements, we found seasonal AKR intensity variations: the AKR maximum and minimum are observed in winter and summer, respectively. The seasonal variations and the dependence of the spectrum on geomagnetic activity are assumed to have a common physical nature—the background-plasma density variations in the region of the AKR source attributable to plasma flows from the ionosphere into the magnetosphere.
