Scientific paper

The paper presents observations from a late evening sector pass of S3-2 over the northern auroral zone and compared with nearly simultaneous DMSP imagery. High time resolution measurements are presented from electric field, magnetic field, energetic electron, and thermal plasma detectors. Simultaneous magnetometer and satellite potential fluctuations show that the upward current sheets are real and that these upward currents are varied by precipitating, low-energy plasma sheet electrons. It is concluded that the plasma and electric field distributions in the vicinity of a visible arc suggest that the auroral electrojet was distributed over the region of diffuse auroral but was most intense near the equatorward boundary of the auroral arc.
