Solitary waves observed in the auroral zone: the Cluster multi-spacecraft perspective

We report on recent measurements of solitary waves made by the Wideband Plasma Wave Receiver located on each of the four Cluster spacecraft at 4.5-6.5<i>R<sub>E</sub></i> (well above the auroral acceleration region) as they cross field lines that map to the auroral zones. Th...
