Scientific paper

A mechanism for the formation of the westward-moving auroral bulge and current wedge of a substorm is proposed where a space-time wave is considered to switch on the turbulent regime of magnetospheric convection. The transition to the turbulent regime occurs through the formation of a streamer extended along the convection electric field of the moving formation. Fluxes of energetic electrons, the ionospheric conductivity, the electric field, and the field-aligned current are all sharply elevated at the 'head' of this formation.
