Svalbard is the Arctic archipelago between 10 deg and 35 deg east and 74 deg and 81 deg north. The geomagnetic latitude spans from approximately 71 deg to 77 deg north. This makes Svalbard an ideal place for studies of dayside aurora and processes in the magnetospheric boundary regions. Conjugacy to...
