Scientific paper

Over the first 2.5 years of operation (May 2000 to December 2002), the FUV instrument on the IMAGE spacecraft observed more than 2400 substorm onsets in the Northern Hemisphere. The list of all observed onset is published in [Frey et al., 2004]. In 2003, the fast migration of the line of apsides (50° per year) moved the IMAGE orbit apogee across the equator into the southern hemisphere. 1300 substorm onsets could be detected between the ~2.5 years of January 2003 to April 2005. Most of them were made in the Southern Hemisphere. Here we compare the major properties of the southern substorm onsets (absolute value of the onset geomagnetic latitude and MLT) with the results from the northern hemisphere. We find similar values, regardless of the different phases within the solar cycle for both data sets.
