Scientific paper

A specific category of auroral events occurring predominantly during a southward-directed IMF is examined. Coordinated observations from the ground and satellites in polar orbit are used to study the temporal/spatial development of the events in relation to the background patterns of particle precipitation and ionospheric convection as well as the field-aligned current and ion drift characteristics of the individual events. The auroral phenomenon is characterized by a sequence of elongated forms moving laterally into the polar cap after forming near the persistent cusp/cleft arc. It is suggested that the motion pattern is regulated by the IMF orientation. Both prenoon and postnoon sector events are reported.
