Abstract

Aurora displays provides an essential diagnostic to spatial and temporal variations of terrestrial space environment and is also an important proxy of solar activity. Contemporary auroral observations have just continued for more than half a century. In the long history prior to modern era, visual auroral observations can dates back to 1450 AD in mid-latitudes and polar regions in Europe. In mid- and low-latitude regions in East Asia, official historical books in China, Korea, and Japan also recorded numerous visual auroral phenomena began from 1000 AD until modern times. In this study, we compiled a new auroral catalogue from ancient Korean historical books, including 2013 auroral records with day-level resolution from 1012 to 1811 AD, especially for the records searched from the . The occurrence of the aurora in the new catalogue is generally consistent with previous datasets. This extended dataset provides valuable support for various studies related to solar-terrestrial space weather and ancient climates.
