New model for auroral acceleration: O-shaped potential structure cooperating with waves
There are recent observational indications (lack of convergent electric field signatures above the auroral oval at 4 <i>R<sub>E</sub></i> altitude) that the U-shaped potential drop model for auroral acceleration is not applicable in all cases. There is nevertheless much ob...
