Scientific paper

Small-amplitude double layers and solitary waves containing magnetic-field-aligned electric field components have been observed for the first time in the auroral plasma between altitudes of 6000 and 8000 km in association with electron and ion velocity distributions that indicate the presence of electric fields parallel to the magnetic field. The double layers may account for a large portion of the parallel potential drop that accelerates auroral particles.
