摘要

We present a multi-instrument study on the variations of optical auroras and pnospheric electron densities during an interval of a series of fast earthward flows in the nagnetotail on 3 March 2009. The flow-related auroral signatures include intermittent nigher-latitude (>68° magnetic latitude) intensifications manifested in green and blue line uroras and more latitudinally extended red line auroral intensifications and expansions. Ouring the same interval the Poker Flat incoherent scatter radar (PFISR) detected F region pnospheric electron density enhancements which, together with the red line auroral mtensifications, give evidence for soft electron (<1 keV) precipitation associated with fast nagnetospheric flow activity. We demonstrated the southward motion of ionospheric lectron density patches in correspondence to individual earthward flow bursts and auroral activations. By virtue of the multibeam technique of PFISR we construct the altitudinal rofile of the density patches and estimate that the characteristic energies of the recipitating electrons were on order of a few hundred eV, comparable to the observed lectron temperature in the near-Earth central plasma sheet (CPS). We propose that the 1st flows give rise to enhanced ELF wave activity, which causes strong pitch angle iffusion of the soft electron population in the CPS via wave-particle interactions. The recipitation may be further aided with a moderate field-aligned potential drop comparable to or smaller than the CPS electron temperature. When the flows penetrate into the inner plasma sheet, the adiabatic drift motion of soft electrons may lead to a decreasing trend of electron energy with decreasing radial distance, which is manifested in PFISR observations as an ascending trend of the altitude range of the density patches toward the equatorward auroral border.
