Scientific paper

High resolution in situ observations by sounding rockets of auroral phenomena are discussed. Results from the Substorm-GEOS rocket campaign and from simultaneous ground based observations show that Joule and particle heating are correlated during breakup but anticorrelated before. Auroral motion is governed by E x B/B sq drift prior to, but not during, breakup. Rees' steady-state model to calculate electron density profiles from measured particle spectra is generalized by inclusion of the time dependence. An auroral arc classification based on the relative influence on the arc electric field pattern of polarization and Birkeland currents is suggested, and applied to arc observations. High altitude potential distributions are presented.
