The temporal evolution of a small auroral substorm as viewed from high altitudes with Dynamics Explorer 1 [microform] / by J.D. Craven and L.A. Frank.

"A small auroral substorm is investigated with auroral imaging photometers carried on the spacecraft Dynamics Explorer 1. Initial brightening along the auroral oval and the subsequent westward and poleward motions of intense, localized emission regions are associated with auroral surges. Follow...
