Abstract | Summary form only given. Currently, the hypothesis that discrete auroral arcs are produced by fluxes of magnetospheric electrons accelerated along the ambient magnetic field into the ionosphere by linear/non-linear mechanisms associated with magnetic field-aligned currents (FACs) carried by ultra-low-frequency (ULF) Alfvén waves is confirmed by a large number of experimental and theoretical works. This correlation arises from the fact that dispersive Alfvén waves have a component of the electric field parallel to the ambient magnetic field. This field can accelerate electrons into the ionosphere and produce some types of the discrete aurora. Two main questions studies of ULF waves and the discrete aurora seek to answer are: 1) What physical mechanism(s) generates the ULF waves? 2) What parameters of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system define frequency, dynamics, and spatial structure of these waves? Ionospheric Feedback instability (IFI) is one of the most self-consistent physic models that aims to answer these two questions. The basic idea of IFI is that ULF waves can be generated due to the active interaction between FAC and ionospheric plasma under some favorable conditions, for example, large electric field and low plasma density in the ionosphere. Our study uses a newly developed three-dimensional MHD model to investigate the discrete auroral arcs generated by IFI. The effects of Hall conductivity, convective nonlinearity in both ionosphere and magnetic field on the dynamics of discrete auroral arcs are studies through this model. It is found that our model can explain formation and spatial scales of homogeneous discrete auroral arcs, largescale auroral folds, and small-scale curls in active aurora. Furthermore, the simulation results from the model successfully reproduce discrete auroral arcs with homogeneous/inhomogeneous structures. These numerical results are in good agreement with observed data during the substorm event on October 29, 2008 in Alaska. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
