Scientific paper

An Isis 2 pass studied in related experiments was singled out for a detailed examination of the particle fluxes, optical emissions, and ionospheric parameters observed during a quiescent period (late recovery) between two substorms. Since both long-duration measurements (aircraft) and transient snapshot (spacecraft) data are available, space and time effects can, on a macroscopic level, be separated. The latitudinal morphology observed by the satellite is found to be basically spatial in nature. It is suggested that the observed particle fluxes can be explained in terms of precipitation from the quiet time plasma sheet without intervening acceleration. The agreement of the observed optical emissions and ionospheric parameters with the electron fluxes is discussed.
