Scientific paper

The development of ground based optical observations of aurora is summarized. Existing optical networks in the Northern Hemisphere are described emphasizing the Scandinavia/Svalbard (Arctic) sector. Different observational techniques covering all sky photography, television cameras, photometers, spectrometers, and interferometers, are described. The physical limits and usefulness of the different techniques are critically reviewed. Some data examples are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the different methods. Need for improvement and extension of the present networks is discussed. The specific problem of ground based optical support to the forthcoming Cluster and EISCAT Svalbard radar programs is detailed.
