| 内容記述 | In a study of the dynamics of dayside aurora, Horwitz and Akasofu (1977) adopted the basic methodology of examining substorms which occurred during intervals when the interplanetary magnetic field was steady. By using this approach, it was possible to remove the obvious ambiguity in the interpretation of dayside auroral dynamics which arises if interplanetary medium variations are not excluded. It is believed that for an understanding of the natural, internal instability behavior of the magnetosphere it will be necessary to employ the same methodology in many 'substorm' studies. The present investigation has the objective to present some examples of substorms occurring during intervals of steady interplanetary magnetic field. Subsequently, the approximate time scales of expansion and recovery for such substorms are determined. The obtained results are compared with a substorm model proposed by Hill and Reiff (1980). |
