6 INTRODUCTION• The Auroral Subcenter of World Data Center B2 continues by thie issue its publication of auroral observation data at the Soviet Stations in Arctic and Antarctic. The data obtained during 1979 are given. Auroral data are presented by aacaplota as adopted at Moscow IAGA Assembly in September 1958 /3/. The list of stations and their coordinates are enumerated in Table 1. Publications of the ascaplota of 1972-1974 and of 1977-1978 /7-11/ preceded this publication. Ascaplots are the information about aurorae occurence in three latitudinal intervals (north, zenith, south) each corresponding to three latitudinal degrees. Aurorae activity of the zenith region is given in three-ball scale. The data for each half-an-hour observational interval are presented. Ascaplots also contain the information about cloudiness and moon lighting presence. The methods of aacaplotting are shown. Preliminary data used in the present issue from all the stations are kept in Auroral Subcenter. Auroral activity indices axe given for each day (Table 2). The ascaplots are prepared by Auroral Subcenter workers: L.H.Korobeynikova, N .F.Maltseva and 0.V.Yuschenko under the head of L.N.Molchanova. Auroral activity indices (PA) are calculated by L.N,Molchanova.
