Abstract
During two Freja passes over auroral arc systems special wide-angle CCD cameras were operated from the ground. Comparisons of the optical observations with satellite-measured plasma parameters are performed. Motions of fine structures of the arcs are interpreted in terms of high-altitude electric fields shielded from the lower ionosphere. Independent measurements of current density, accelerating voltage and energy flux are evaluated and show good agreement.
