Scientific paper

Akasofu and Tsurutani (1984) have observed very unusual auroral activity on January 10-11, 1983. They employed visible line scan imagery from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F6 satellite to monitor auroral activity over the northern (winter) polar region. Magnetometer data from the ISEE 3 and IMP 8 spacecraft were used to monitor the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation. A number of auroral features which occurred in coincidence with changes in the IMF orientation were noted. The present paper is mainly concerned with the specific occurrence of a broad transpolar are later on January 11, 1983. During this occurrence, the IMF B(z) and B(y) components were positive and stable in time. This report has the objective to use a fortunate orbital configuration of three low-altitude polar orbiting spacecraft to probe the distribution of precipitating plasma responsible for the arc.
