Using ultra-low frequency waves and their characteristics to diagnose key physics of substorm onset

Abstract Substorm onset is marked in the ionosphere by the sudden brightening of an existing auroral arc or the creation of a new auroral arc. Also present is the formation of auroral beads, proposed to play a key role in the detonation of the substorm, as well as the development of the large-scale...
