Scientific paper

A tomographic inversion programme for auroral tomography is introduced and samples of inversion results are shown. The programme is based on stochastic inversion, which gives the most probable values of the volume emission rate. Although it was originally designed for satellite tomography, it has later been used for auroral tomography as well. In this paper a new version modified for the special needs of auroral tomography is presented, which is more suitable for studying field-aligned structures. The essential difference is that, instead of the conventional rectangular mesh shape, the present version uses parallelograms oriented along the direction of the local magnetic field. Then it is possible to feed a priori information to the solver, which is expected to make the inversion favour field-aligned structures instead of horizontal or vertical ones.
