Scientific paper

A two-fluid model is used to examine the convective motion of the plasma confined between the plasmapause and magnetopause, taking into account 'downstream' variations of field line curvature. It is shown that an explosive instability may result given certain plasma conditions (appropriate electric field strength and electron density distributions); this leads to rapid dispersal of material from the point of explosion, with a great augmentation of current and magnetic field at this point. It is suggested that a polar substorm is this type of explosive phenomenon; the two-fluid model (plasmapause-magnetopause) corresponds to an 'anodic' description.
