Experiment for measurement of the dc electric field by double probes as part of the rocket payloads Substorm Phenomena
Abstract
The effects of magnetospheric substorms in the ionospheric height range were studied by in situ measurements with rockets. Several in situ measurements of the dc electric field were performed during substorms. The measuring method applied used electrical double probes. Profiles of the electric field were obtained, covering the auroral oval and a height range up to 500 km. The profiles represent essential information for the interpretation of the substorm phenomenon and especially for the associated complex of auroral effects.
