Satellite low-frequency radio measurements have shown that auroral kilometric radiation, an intense radio emission from the earth's auroral regions, is closely associated with auroral and magnetic disturbances. In this paper a detailed investigation of this relationship is presented, using the auroral electrojet (AE) index as an indicator of auroral magnetic disturbances and radio measurements from the Imp 6 spacecraft. This study indicates that the mean power flux of the 178-kHz radiation tends to be proportional to the 1.2 power of (AE) for AE more than 100 gamma and, with less certainty, to the square of (AE) for AE less than 100 gamma. The correlation coefficient between log AE and the logarithm of the power flux is 0.514. Occasionally, a kilometric radiation event is detected which is not detected by the ground magnetometer stations, even though an auroral substorm is in progress. This study shows that the remote detection of kilometric radio emissions from the earth can be used as a reasonably reliable indicator of auroral substorm activity.
