Objective(s): To install a fluxgate magnetometer and 30MHz riometer to provide new information on hydromagnetic wave and particle precipitation phenomena occurring under varying interplanetary and geomagnetic conditions. This location is slected because it is in the "conjugate" area to the United States station at South Pole, Antarctica.
