Scientific paper

This paper describes a novel method for obtaining snapshots of the auroral electrodynamics on a global scale, along with a numerical model based on simultaneous observations by the Viking and the DMSP F7 satellites. An 'instantaneous' global equipotential pattern was calculated from the distributions of field-aligned current and conductivity, which were qualitatively consistent with the Viking auroral imager data and quantitatively consistent with magnetic field and particle data from the two satellites.
