All-sky camera (ASC), Global Positioning System (GPS), and ionosonde measurements were used to investigate the upper atmospheric variations at mid-latitude during the strong geomagnetic storm on October 29 31, 2003. An arc-shaped 630.0 nm emission was observed in the northern sky on all-sky images taken at Mt. Bohyun (36.2°N, 128.9°E, GMLAT=29°N) in Korea during 17:48 8:58 UT in the main phase of the geomagnetic storm on October 29. The NmF2 and hmF2 from the ionosonde show strong disturbances at that time. The vertical profiles of electron densities, calculated by the ionospheric tomographic method using ground-based GPS slant total electron contents measurements, show the largest value at ˜440 km height at 18:30 UT on October 29 when the enhancements of OI 630.0 nm emission were observed. The arc-shaped red emission observed during the main phase of the magnetic storm is likely a low-latitude red aurora due to its short duration of ˜1 h. The result implies that the plasmapause was at L=1.4 1.6 during the geomagnetic storm. The fact that the arc did not follow a constant L-value appears to suggest that neutral precipitation and a traveling ionospheric disturbance could also be the cause of the arc.
