Scientific paper

Four sounding rocket payloads were launched in early 1977 to measure heating parameters in the auroral oval. Geophysical conditions were different for the four flights: auroral arc, substorm main phase, diffuse aurora, and auroral arc with negative bay. The conductivity tensor and the heating rates of particle and Joule heating are determined. The heating rates range in the order of a few tens of mW/sq m. These magnitudes accord with those determined with the aid of backscatter facilities and other sounding rocket observations.
