Abstract
The temporal evolution of the subauroral polarization stream (SAPS) is investigated using the Doppler velocity observations by the Unwin HF radar in conjunction with the simultaneously observed auroral luminosity and plasma convection reversal regions. The event under study of 14 December 2004, 1000–1600 UT, occurred during geomagnetically quiet conditions when a sequence of two substorms separated by ∼2 hours was observed by the IMAGE satellite. It is shown that the SAPS appeared shortly after the first substorm onset and continued to dominate the westward plasma convection at subauroral magnetic latitudes 59°–63°S for ∼6 hours. An unexpected exception occurred near the second substorm onset time when a narrow channel of weaker SAPS westward convection became embedded in the slow eastward drifting plasma for a short ∼25‐min period, which was attributed to the equatorward expansion of the dawn convection cell during the growth and expansion phases of the second substorm. Another remarkable plasma convection feature was observed in the same 25‐min period ∼5° poleward of SAPS; this was a narrow “mirror” channel of the eastward drifting plasma parallel to the main SAPS channel. It is argued that the latter feature may also be caused by the equatorward expanding dawn convection cell whose streamlines become compressed by and aligned with the SAPS poleward edge. A possible relationship between the SAPS intensity and its position relative to the auroral oval is also investigated. The results suggest that the magnetosphere‐ionosphere feedback processes within SAPS become more effective as the equatorward edge of the eastward convection region retreats poleward with the SAPS position much less affected by the auroral dynamics.
