Abstract

An attempt is made to integrate and interpret various polar and magnetospheric substorm phenomena as consequences of the acceleration process of auroral particles which could result from the diversion of a part of the magnetotail current to the night side of the auroral oval. Thus, this paper is not intended to be a literature survey, but to present a way along which magnetospheric substorms might be studied in the future.
