Scientific paper

Results are presented on a detailed analysis of an isolated dispersionless substorm, carried out using field and particle data collected in situ by the GEOS 2, as well as data from ground-based instruments installed close to the GEOS 2 magnetic footprint. Results yield a global description of the various phases of the substorm and the processes which produce the breakup phase. A westward traveling surge was observed simultaneously by all-sky cameras, close to the magnetic field of GEOS 2, which is suggested to be the image of the instability in the equatorial region transmitted to the upper atmosphere by precipitating electrons.
