Large-scale altitude distribution profile of auroral parallel electric potentials: A statistical analysis of Cluster data
Sadeghi, Soheil; Emami, M. Reza
It is generally believed that the heart of the Auroral Acceleration Region (AAR) is located between 5000 and 8000 km altitude above the auroral oval. Various altitude distribution profiles are suggested by different theories, including the transition layer model, which predicts that the strongest electric fields can be found at about 1 RE
