23 SW R E S U L T Earth auroral phases, growth, expansion, and recovery phases, are the signatures of Earth s substorm event in the polar regions, as seen from figure below (adapted from Akasofu, 1964). Above, auroral emissions in Earth s northern hemisphere were observed in November 6, 1998, by the Visible Imaging System (VIS) and the Ultraviolet Imager (UVI), instruments onboard POLAR spacecraft. 23

24 SW R E S U L T In addition, the time series plot of integrated auroral flux at magnetic latitude between degrees and magnetic local time between hr was used to assist the determination of onset time. In below figure, time series plot shows the brightening of integrated photon flux of wavelength (dotted), (solid), (dashed), and (long dashed) nm emissions. 24
