High-resolution optical observations of neutral heating associated with the electrodynamics of an auroral arc

We present results that indicate the existence of two distinct neutral heating processes associated with a discrete auroral arc over Svalbard. Within the order of seconds, the thermospheric temperature profile displays a significant response to the arc on spatial scales smaller than 10 km. It is sug...
