Scientific paper

The Ultraviolet Imager (UVI) experiment on the Polar spacecraft has been operating since 21 March 1996, and is returning high quality global images of auroral activity. This article presents first images of global aurora from the UVI experiment. We discuss the capabilities of the UVI instrument and how the data can be used to study substorm physics. A preliminary survey of 80 days of UVI images indicates that the dayside auroral activity is intense and dynamic, and occurs as frequently as the nightside activity. These features are demonstrated using the images obtained on 9 April 1996 when the UVI observed simultaneous dayside and nightside activities.
