The auroral E region in the vicinity of the incoherent scatter radar (ISR) facility near Sondrestrom is probed using the capability of the Polar BEAR satellite to simultaneously image auroral luminosities at multiple UV wavelengths and to remote-sense large- and small-scale ISR measurements. Coordinated observations on two nights obtained during the sunspot-minimum January-February 1987 period, when good spatial and temporal confunction was obtained between Polar BEAR overflights and Sondrestrom ISR measurements, are reported. The observations confirmed that the energetic particle precipitation resonsible for the UV emissions causes the electron density increases in the E region.
