Zusammenfassung |
With a favorable constellation of spacecraft and ground stations,
a study is made on the global manifestations of a substorm onset. The
onset occurred simultaneously and conjugately in both hemispheres,
confirmed by observations of the auroral breakup from IMAGE
FUV-WIC and a sudden intensification of a westward electrojet from
ground-based magnetometers. Concurrently with the onset,
field-aligned and Hall currents in the auroral ionosphere are
observed by CHAMP, which are consistent with the signature of a
Harang discontinuity. Immediately after the onset a magnetic field
dipolarization is clearly observed by Double Star TC-1, located
near the central magnetotail and subsequently, by the Cluster
quartet. The observations can be explained by a dawnward
propagation of the substorm current wedge at a speed of about 300 km/s. |
