This project is a computational and theoretical study using                a model that describes the coupling of the ionosphere and                       magnetosphere.  The coupling process is the kinetic Alfven wave                 which originates in the magnetosphere.                                               The mathematical approach is to use the three-dimensional                  Strauss equations with additional term corresponding to electron                inertia.  The effect of finite electron temperature will be                     included in the model.  The computational approach is to use the                3-D fluid simulation code.  The goal of this research is to                     understand the processes that are responsible for the evolution                 of discrete auroral arcs on about the one kilometer scale.  A                   mechanism for the auroral electron acceleration due to kinetic                  Alfven waves, will be studied.//
