Zusammenfassung |
Variation of the luminosity in two parallel
auroral arcs before auroral breakup has been studied by using digitised TV-data
with high temporal and spatial resolution. The intervals when a new arc appears
near already existing one were chosen for analysis. It is shown, for all cases,
that the appearance of a new arc is accompanied by fading or disappearance of
another arc. We have named these events out-of-phase events, OP. Another type of
luminosity variation is characterised by almost simultaneous enhancement of
intensity in the both arcs (in-phase event, IP). The characteristic time of IP
events is 10–20 s, whereas OP events last about one minute. Sometimes
out-of-phase events begin as IP events. The possible mechanisms for OP and IP
events are discussed. |
