Description

This dataset contains a list of 438 omega-like structures observed in the Fennoscandian Lapland from 1996 to 2007. The results from this set of omega bands for the first time were presented in: Partamies, N., Weygand, J. M., & Juusola, L. (2017). Statistical study of auroral omega bands. Annales Geophysicae, 35, 1069-1083. https://doi.org/10.5194/angeo-35-1069-2017.

The omega structures were observed in the stations of Sodankylä (SOD, 67.42o N), Muonio (MUO, 68.02o N), Abisko (ABK, 68.36o N), Kilpisjärvi (KIL, 69.02o N), and Kevo (KEV, 69.76o N). More station details and quicklook data are at space.fmi.fi/MIRACLE/ASC.

The attached file 'Omega_bands_list_1996-2007.txt' contains the following information: year, month, day of the month, hours and minutes (start of the observation), hours and minutes (peak time), hours and minutes (end of the observation), quality flag (between 0 and 5), number of omegas, station. The peak time refers to the time when the clearest form was seen in the all-sky image (see the paper for more details).
