A comparison of simultaneous optical and radio auroral data obtained during 12 days in December, 1964, shows conclusively that the radio wave scattering belt includes the visual auroral belt. The optical data were obtained with the Alaskan network of all-sky cameras located between 65 and 80° north geomagnetic latitude. The multifrequency backscatter sounder operating at College was used to record the radio data. The excellent agreement that resulted leads us to conclude that the majority of the h.f. and low v.h.f. backscatter echoes originating in the E- and the F-regions at high latitudes are auroral echoes in the strict sense of the term. In the records shown the auroral belt was tracked from 65 to above 80° north geomagnetic latitude by a single sounder. It is concluded that the multifrequency h.f. backscatter sounder makes year-round observations of the auroral belt possible.
