Scientific paper

The predicted sheet current which connects the partial ring current and
the auroral electrojet in auroral substorms is shown to be unstable
against a shear perturbation (kink instability). A consequence of the
instability is the deformation of the sheet current into a curtain shape
as is visibly observed in auroras.
