Optical signatures of auroral arcs produced by field line resonances: comparison with satellite observations and modeling

We show two examples from the CANOPUS array of the optical signatures of auroral arcs produced by field line resonances on the night of 31 January 1997. The first example occurs during local evening at about 18:00 MLT (Magnetic Local Time), where CANOPUS meridian scanning photometer data sho...
