Extended period of polar cap auroral display: auroral dynamics and relation to the IMF and the ionospheric convection
An unusually extended period (5 h) of polar cap auroral display on 3 August 1986 is examined.Auroras have been investigated using ground-based data as well as measurements from the IMP-8 spacecraft in interplanetary space and simultaneous observations from the polar-orbiting satellites Viking and DE-1 in the northern and southern hemispheres, respe
