The paper reports data received from the Freja satellite during two passes over broad auroral arc systems or inverted-V events above Gillam/Manitoba when special wide-angle CCD cameras were operated at this location in addition to the CANOPUS network. Detailed comparisons of the visible structures with modulations of the primary electron fluxes are performed. Motions of this fine structures are interpreted in terms of high-altitude electric fields shielded from the lower ionosphere. Simultaneous readings of current density, accelerating voltage and energy flux, the latter determined both from particle and auroral brightness measurements, are found to be internally consistent. We calculate from these data the effective resistance encountered by the electric currents and find agreement with the kinetic theory of the mirror impedance, if we allow for substantial variations in density and energy of the source electrons in the magnetosphere.
