摘要: [1] We report on the dynamics of low-altitude energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions during two substorms that occurred main phases storms: (1) a CIR-driven storm 11 October 2008 and (2) coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven 5 April 2010. For both these storms, we have complementary spacecraft ground-based observations. The dual-spacecraft Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) mission obtained ENA images containing (LAEs). Substorm is inferred from THEMIS all-sky imagers. TWINS-observed LAEs are compared with trapped/loss cone proton fluxes NOAA/MetOp constellation. We find timing intensity profiles different for selected events. event, rise substorm recovery phase phase.
