Abstract
The Auroral Turbulance II sounding rocket was launched on February
11, 1997 into moderately active nightside aurora from the Poker
Flat Research Range, Alaska, US. The experiment consisted of three
independent, completely instrumented payloads launched by a single
vehicle. The aim of the experiment was to study the fine structure
of an active auroral arc. Ground based observations were done by a
chain all-sky cameras, a photometer and a magnetometer at Poker
Flat. The satellite coverage was obtained by POLAR UV imager and
GOES 8 and 9 magnetometer. The three point measurement allows the
distinction of spatial and temporal variations. The first results
of the magnetic, [1,2], electric and particle data analysis are
compared with optical observations [2] of auroral structures.
