Abstract
A class of pulsating aurora has been observed in which the repeated spatial expansion of a patch from a small persistent core region is evidently dependent on the attainment of a critical intensity level in this core region. Characteristics of patches exhibiting this behavior are summarized and the phenomenon is discussed in relation to possible triggered instabilities of the precipitating electron beam.
