Spatial and Temporal Scales of Pulsating Aurora during the Loss Through Auroral Microburst Pulsations (LAMP) Rocket Mission

The Loss Through Auroral Microburst Pulsations (LAMP) Rocket mission launched 5 March 2020 at 11:27:30 UT. As part of the LAMP mission, a high speed Phantom camera with a narrow field of view lens (40 degrees full angle) was deployed at Venetie, Alaska, directly under the apogee point of the rocket. The Phantom camera was equipped with a BG-3 filter to record only the short lived visible emissions from the aurora. We report on the spatial and temporal scales of the pulsating patches the LAMP rocket flew through. A variety of spatial and temporal scales are observed in the pulsating patches. Faster pulsations appear narrower, while slower pulsations appear wider. The orientation of the pulsations change during a four minute time span when the rocket flew through the zenith.
