Scientific paper

The EISCAT radar measured ion velocities underneath a rocket trajectory scanning over seven locations along an auroral arc. From the ion velocities electric fields were derived and compared with in-situ measurements on board the rocket. South of the arc region there is good agreement between both measurements. Inside the arc region, however, there are large discrepancies. It is concluded that localized field aligned currents play an important part, together with the fact that the rocket trajectory deviated from the EISCAT points of observation.
