Scientific paper

For the present investigation, the high-latitude region of precipitating auroral ions was divided into spatial elements in magnetic local time and corrected geomagnetic latitude; one such spatial matrix was created for each of seven levels of magnetic activity, as defined by K(p). Auroral precipitating ions are determined to occur in a well-ordered pattern in magnetic local time and geomagnetic latitude, when separated by K(p). A portion of the pattern is found to be qualitatively consistent with the adiabatic compression of the ions as they are convected earthward, in the tail, and then proceed to drift in gradient and curvature.
