Scientific paper
Extensive three-dimensional computer simulations of the magnetosphere-ionosphere (M-I) coupling are performed to study self-excitation of an auroral arclike structure with special emphasis on (1) nonlinear evolution of the feedback instability in the M-I coupling system, (2) controlling mechanisms of the arc structure, (3) formation of a field-aligned electric potential structure in association with the development of the feedback instability, and (4) effects of the parallel potential generation on the development of the arclike structure. The present study takes the first step toward the theoretical understanding of the M-I coupling system with parallel potentials.
