The Aurora borealis, or northern lights, can be measured using various methods including ground-based observations, satellite imagery, and magnetometers. Ground-based observers utilize photometers and cameras to capture the intensity and color of the auroras, while satellites like the NOAA's POES and the European Space Agency's Swarm can measure the auroral emissions and the associated geomagnetic activity. Magnetometers, positioned at various locations, record fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the auroras. These measurements help scientists understand the dynamics and characteristics of this atmospheric phenomenon.
