Electric and Magnetic Field Observations during a Substorm on February 24, 1970,
Abstract
The authors report a series of electric field measurements obtained from the Injun 5 satellite and simultaneous magnetic disturbance observed in the interplanetary medium and on the ground during a magnetic substorm. The substorm analyzed took place on February 24, 1970. Prior to the onset of the substorm a greatly enhanced anti-sunward plasma flow was observed over the polar cap. The enhanced plasma flow occurred about 30 minutes after a switch in the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field from northward to southward. (Modified author abstract)
