The Spatial Relationship between the Evening Radar Aurora and Field-Aligned Currents.
Abstract
The spatial relationship of the radar aurora to the field-aligned currents observed by virtue of the transverse magnetic disturbances detected by the TRIAD satellite are examined. Using a 398-MHz phased-array radar located at Homer, Alaska, event-by-event comparisons were made between the evening radar aurora and the field-aligned currents in the 1700-to-2100 MLT sector.
