利用国防气象卫星计划(DMSP)和国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)的卫星观测以及THEMIS全天成像仪(ASI)和SuperDARN雷达的地面观测,我们确定了午夜前环流离子和等离子体片电子的赤道边界位置与亚暴期间强热发射速度增强(STEVE)和强烈亚极光离子漂移(SAID)的发生有何关系。我们发现,与非 STEVE 事件相比,STEVE 事件与电子沉淀通量梯度更大、沉淀离子通量更低、捕获环电流离子和沉淀等离子体片电子的赤道边界之间的纬度间隙更窄(<1°)以及更窄的区域 2 场对准电流(FAC)有关。与非 STEVE 事件相比,颗粒边界的狭窄间隙包含强烈的 SAID、更高的上流速度、更低的槽密度和略高的电子温度。非 STEVE 亚暴在捕获离子和沉淀电子之间具有更大的间隙,并且亚极光偏振流 (SAPS) 没有表现出强烈的 SAID。这些结果表明,STEVE事件的亚极光流和向下的FAC只能在离子和电子边界之间的纬度狭窄的亚极光低电导区域内流动,从而导致强烈的SAID和加热。在非 STEVE 事件期间,SAPS 流可以在纬度较宽的区域流动,而不会形成强烈的 SAID。
Using Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite observations and ground‐based observations by the THEMIS all‐sky imagers (ASIs) and SuperDARN radars, we determine how the equatorward boundary locations of ring current ions and plasma sheet electrons at pre‐midnight relate to occurrence of strong thermal emission velocity enhancement (STEVE) and intense subauroral ion drifts (SAID) during substorms. We found that the STEVE events are associated with a sharper gradient of electron precipitating flux, lower precipitating ion flux, and a narrower (<1°) latitudinal gap between the equatorward boundaries of trapped ring current ions and precipitating plasma sheet electrons and narrower region‐2 field‐aligned currents (FACs) than for the non‐STEVE events. The narrow gap of the particle boundaries contains intense SAID, higher upflow velocity, lower trough density, and slightly higher electron temperature than those for the non‐STEVE events. The non‐STEVE substorms have much wider gaps between the trapped ions and precipitating electrons, and subauroral polarization streams (SAPS) do not show intense SAID. These results indicate that subauroral flows and downward FACs for the STEVE events can only flow within the latitudinally narrow subauroral low‐conductance region between the ion and electron boundaries, resulting in intense SAID and heating. During the non‐STEVE events, the SAPS flows can flow in the latitudinally wide region without forming intense SAID.
