We document the detailed dynamics of the dayside aurora in the \sim1200-1600 MLT sector in response to a sharp southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) under negative IMF By conditions. Features not documented in previous work are elucidated by using two meridan scanning photomet...
