Poleward moving auroral forms (PMAFs) revisited: responses of aurorae, plasma convection and Birkeland currents in the pre- and postnoon sectors under positive and negative IMF <I>B<sub>y</sub></I> conditions
Using five case studies, we investigate the dynamical evolution of dayside auroral precipitation in relation to plasma convection, classifying it by the IMF <I>B<sub>y</sub></I> component and position with respect to noon. Auroral observations were made by meridian sca...
