Orientations of auroral arcs have been determined from all-sky photographs taken at Flin Flon (54.8°N, 101.8°W), Canada during 1958. The corresponding magnetograms were also examined in an attempt to verify the theory that intense ionospheric currents flow along the auroral arc during the auroral display. The average value for the orientation of auroral arcs was found to be 98.4°. Significant diurnal and seasonal variations of orientation were observed. The average value for the angle between the auroral arc and the horizontal component of the concurrent magnetic disturbance was 89.8°, indicating that the theory is substantially correct.
