Physics of Auroral Phenomena
Abstract. On February 16, 2003 EISCAT-Heating experiment was carried out on observation of heating induced disturbances in the magnetosphere. A pump wave of 4.04 MHz in X-mode was used for the ionosphere modification from 19:55 to 23:59:59 UT in square modulation regime with 5 minutes ON / 5 minutes...

The electric field disturbances being uniform in the region of modified conductivity have a discontinuity at its border of the region and decay as two-dimensional dipole outside it. Field-aligned currents are related with conductivity gradients and distinct magnetic field variations are clear seen in quick-look plots around 20.30 UT. For further study of this event records of magnetic variations onboard CLUSTER satellites would be very important.
