Substorm triggering by new plasma intrusion: THEMIS all‐sky imager observations

TL;DR: In this article, an event and statistical analysis of THEMIS all-sky imager data was performed to identify the sequence of events leading to substorm auroral onset, and the results indicated that onset is preceded by enhanced earthward plasma flows associated with enhanced reconnection near the pre-existing open-closed field line boundary.

Substorm Triggering by New Plasma Intrusion 1: THEMIS All-Sky Imager Observations

On the coupling between the Harang reversal evolution and substorm dynamics: A synthesis of SuperDARN, DMSP, and IMAGE observations

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive set of instruments, including Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN), Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), and Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE), is used to investigate the relationship between the Harang reversal and substorms.

On the generation/decay of the storm‐enhanced density plumes: Role of the convection flow and field‐aligned ion flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present observations of storm-enhanced density plumes during six storms between 2010 and 2013 and comprehensively analyze the associated ionospheric parameters within the plumes, including vertical ion flow, field-aligned ion flow and flux, plasma temperature, and fieldaligned currents, obtained from multiple instruments.
