The behavior of auroral protons at the end of the preparatory phase of a substorm and at the commencement of the active phase is examined on the basis of SAMBO-79 and SAMBO-82 data as well as data obtained during 1982-1983. These data were used to analyze the preparatory phases and breakups and to elucidate variations of H-alpha emission. It is shown that an H-alpha brightening usually occurs not more than 7 min before the commencement of the breakup. This prebreakup brightening is due to the intensification of the precipitation of ring-current protons.
