In previous studies, it was demonstrated that the presence of magnetic FLT results in an increase in the fundamental standing Alfvén wave (SAW) field-line resonance (FLR) frequencies corresponding to a particular Alfvén speed profile. In the current investigation, evidence is presented in support of a hypothesis that FLT enhances magnetic storm and sub-storm activity. In particular, FLT may be closely associated with the formation of localized auroral density cavities, which interact with lower and upper hybrid waves or Z modes resulting in mode conversion processes that lead to the formation of discrete auroral arcs. The predictive power of a torsion-like parameter in forecasting the triggering and evolution of ionospheric phenomena is assessed in the context of recent auroral roar observations.
