Scientific paper

EISCAT ion drift observations are combined with optical observations of two breakup-like auroral events near the polar cap boundary at 16 MLT on 9 Jan 1989. The auroral phenomenon features a two-component structure, with a local intensification of the preexisting arc as well as a separate tailward moving discrete auroral event on the poleward side of the background aurora, close to the reversal between well-defined zones of sunward and tailward ion flows. The two components may map to the plasma sheet boundary layer and along open field lines to the magnetopause boundary, respectively.
