This paper presents and analyzes sounding rocket and HILAT satellite measurements of the low-frequency electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field in the auroral oval. By examining the time-domain field data, it is often difficult to distinguish temporal fluctuations from static structures which are Doppler-shifted to a nonzero frequency in the spacecraft frame. However, it is shown that such a distinction can be made by constructing the impedance function A(f). Using Z(f), agreement is found with the static field interpretation below about 0.1 Hz in the spacecraft frame.
