Scientific paper

A high-sensitive, two-component induction magnetometer was used to measure natural electromagnetic background noise in the frequency range 0.1-10 Hz. The measurements were carried out in Kilpisjärvi/Finland (geographic latitude 69.02°N, longitude 20.87°E, L~6) in 1993. The average dynamic spectra were derived for four senses of polarization (two linear N-S and E-W and two circular R and L) with a spectral resolution of 0.1 Hz and time resolution of 20 min. During at least 4 out of 12 nights covered by the measurements, clear evidence of spectral resonance structures (SRS) known from midlatitude observations were seen in the magnetic noise spectra. As a rule, 3-4 spectral maxima were observed. The frequency spacing ΔF of SRS between the spectral peaks in the SRS varied between ~0.5 and ~1.5 Hz. The ratio of amplitudes between spectral maxima and minima constituting the SRS was about 2. The diurnal variation of ΔF did not differ in principle from the one observed at midlatitudes. The sense of polarization of the SRS signal varied between right-handed circular and linear with an arbitrary orientation of the magnetic axis. Electron density measurements in the ionospheric F region support the view that the SRS are due to the effect of the ionospheric Alfvén resonator.
