Scientific paper

The temporal and spatial development of the midday auroral breakup phenomenon and the related ionospheric ion flow pattern are studied using observations made by meridian-scanning photometers, an all-sky auroral TV camera, and EISCAT radar. The observations support a transient, intermittent reconnection process at the dayside magnetopause and associated energy and momentum transfer to the ionosphere in the polar cusp and cleft regions.
