Observations of fast auroral waves.

Results of simultaneous observation of a fast wave event from the Ester Dome Observatory (EDO) near College, Alaska, the Poker Flat Rocket Launching Facility (PKR), and Fort Yukon, Alaska (FYU). The display occurred on Mar. 27, 1971, and the general morphology is described and discussed. It is sugge...

The display occurred on Mar. 27, 1971, and the general morphology is described and discussed. It is suggested that fast auroral waves occur when a preceding substorm has enhanced the particle population in the region of the magnetosphere near L = 6 in the midnight sector; then transverse hydromagnetic waves, associated with the onset of further local substorm activity, become visible through their action on this enhanced particle population as they propagate inwards in the equatorial region.
