Excitation of Alfvén impulse by the anomalous resistance onset on the auroral field lines
The onset of anomalous resistance in a layer on auroral field lines is shown to be accompanied by the excitation of an Alfvénic impulse (AI). The generated AI marks the transition of the global magnetosphere-ionosphere instability into an explosive phase with positive feedback. The sp...
