Magnetospheric substorms involve a series of intensifications after onset, each of which has a distinctive set of signatures in the magnetotail. The disturbed region of the ionosphere associated with each intensification maps to a spatially localized volume of space in the magnetotail and this volume of space may expand over the lifetime of the intensification. It is quite likely that any spacecraft in the magnetotail will detect the onset of only one of the intensifications in a multiple onset substorm, and it is far from certain that the disturbance detected will be associated with onset. This paper will address the problem of how one goes about associating a disturbance detected in the magnetotail with the appropriate disturbance in the ionosphere detected by either ground based instrumentation or by imaging from above. Implications of misidentification of observed tail disturbances in terms of their corresponding ionospheric signatures will be discussed in the context of substorm models.
