Measurements of field-aligned currents in a multiple auroral arc system

Journal Article Sesiano, J ; Cloutier, P A - J. Geophys. Res., v. 81, no. 1, pp. 116-122

A rocket-borne experiment to study the currents associated with a system of multiple auroral arcs was conducted at Poker Flat, Alaska, at 1122 UT on February 2, 1972. The magentic field in the vicinity of the auroral system was measured with a cesium vector magnetometer. Possible configurations were inferred by constructing model current systems that reproduced the magnetic field variations measured along the flight path. The data are interperted in terms of a model current system consisting of two eastward electrojets and one westward electrojet and three pairs of oppositely directed Birkeland sheet currents, all lying in a plane approximatelymore »« less

Origins of enhanced field-aligned current at the edge of an auroral arc

Journal Article Greenspan, M E - Journal of Geophysical Research; (USA)

Rocket and radar observations of auroral arcs indicate that the upward field-aligned currents associated with such arcs sometimes are larger at their edges than within the arcs. Bruening and Goertz (1985) reported one such set of observations, made by instruments on the Porcupine F4 rocket. Porcupine F4 measured a fourfold increase in the magnitude of the upward field-aligned current at the edge of an auroral arc over its value in the arc's center, while the energy of the peak in the electron differential flux decreased at the edge of the arc and the electron distribution function remained nearly isotropic inmore »« less

Energy source and mechanisms for accelerating the electrons and driving the field-aligned currents of the discrete auroral arc

Journal Article Kan, J R ; Akasofu, S h - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

The formation of a discrete auroral arc is studied in the framework of the arc energization system, which includes the energy source, the acceleration region for the auroral electrons, and the electromotive force for the field-aligned currents connected to the arc. The kinetic energy of an earthward plasma flow shock is proposed as a possible mechanism for generating V-shaped electric equipotential contours in the energization system which can accelerate the auroral electrons and, at the same time, drive the arc field-aligned current. It is shown that the shock must be located in the plasma sheet in order to drive themore »« less
