Scientific paper

The average equatorward component of the perpendicular electric field between the dusk plasmapause and polar cap has been determined at seven altitudes below 8000 km by averaging large-scale electric field measurements made on 166 passes of the S3-3 satellite through the dusk auroral zone. The observed variation of the perpendicular electric field with altitude and latitude requires the presence of an upward pointing parallel electric field over a latitude range of a few degrees centered near 70 deg invariant latitude, and with a maximum parallel potential of several kV.
