In the accompanying Papers 1 and 2 was fulfilled timing of the 20.11.05 super-storm. Were detected 4 various types of the magnetospheric disturbances observable at southward IMF, and presented a new model of the field-aligned currents density spatial distribution in the polar ionosphere. In this paper are described the ionospheric convection systems, characteristic for the above various types. Are mentioned the mesoscale spatial inhomogeneities, which are observed more or less regularly but have not been mentioned in the past literature.

Spatial distribution in the polar ionosphere of field-aligned currents density is studied by using data of the events on 20.11.03. Observable distributions are described in terms of three Regions of Iijima and Potemra, with taken into account in each Region of three types of spatial inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneitie were overlooked earlier. Dynamics of classical substorm current wedge SCW1, and the "current wedges" SCW2 and SCW3, both creating a polarization and amplification of the westward auroral electrojet, are described.

In the present study we investigate the undulations at the equatorial boundary of diffuse aurora and their relationship to the development of magnetic and auroral substorms and excitation of Pc5 magnetic pulsation on January 14, 1999. The observed undulations had wave-length of ~200-300 km and amplitude of ~50-250 km and they propagated westward with the velocity of ~0,7 km/s. It is found that the undulations began ~40 min after the substorm onset and lasted for ~80 min, all the way to the end of the substorm. During both active and recovery phases of the substorm the undulations were accompanied by the enhancement of the DP2 equivalent current system and by the formation of WTS. Concurrently with undulations, there were observed Pc5 magnetic pulsations of an oscillation period roughly equal to the ratio of the undulation wavelength to their propagation velocity. Observations are interpreted in terms of the shear/ballooning instability excitation near the plasmapause and subsequent generation of drift hydromagnetic waves.

By using satellite magnetic field measurements it is shown that before the substorm expansion phase onset the field-aligned currents of zone 2 type are not always observed on the geosynchronous orbits at the midnight sector. The relationship between the appearance of the field-aligned currents of zone 2 types before the beginning of the substorm expansion phase and the active phase duration and the preceding magnetic disturbance level has been found. It is found that if the expansion phase lasts less than 11 min, the appearance probability of the field-aligned current of zone 2 type before the substorm expansion phase onset T0 decreases. As the geomagnetic activity rises before a substorm, the probability of the beginning of the field-aligned currents before T0 increases. These results indicate that substorms in which the field-aligned currents of zone 2 type the T0 onset are absent, can be probably developed in the distant part of the magnetotail.

By using data treatment results of mid-latitude geomagnetic variations, the significant increase of the local current system intensity with the eastern direction current system, arising near the meridian of expected substorm center ~10-30 min before the break-up onset, has been found. A comparison of longitudinal sizes of two current system, forming the substorm disturbance before and after the onset of the substorm expansion phase, has been carried out. The longitudinal size of the current loop of the substorm growth phase is nearly twice as small as azimuth scale of the substorm current wedge, and the current strength is as week as 2.7-12 times.

The dependence of the longitudinal substorm center localisation on geosynchronous orbits on the IMF Bγ-component has been studied. It is shown that the local magnetic time of the longitudinal substorm center localisation in the magnetosphere varies from evening hours to morning hours as the Bγ-component increases. At low solar wind speeds the substorm centers localize nearer to the evening sector. The ionospheric projection of the substorm center magnetospheric localisation shifts westward at By0. Maximum longitudinal shifts of substorm centers in the ionosphere relative to their location in the magnetosphere are - 3.5 h at Bγ=-4 nT and 3.5 h at Bγ=4.4 nT. Thus, the change of the substorm center localisation relative to the midnight in the ionosphere is caused by both the change of the substorm center position in the magnetosphere and a turn of the magnetotail relative to X-axis.

The results of the hydroxyl and oxygen molecules rotational temperature measurements during two observational seasons 1999-2001 at Maymaga station (φ=63°N;λ=129.50°E) are presented. The rotational temperatures of OH(6,2) and O2 (0,1) bands have been measured with the infrared spectrograph equipped by the cooled CCD registration system. It is shown that the amplitude of seasonal change of hydroxyl rotational temperature is greater than the molecular oxygen variation. OH temperatures have been systematically higher the O2 ones during winter. An abrupt decrease of the O2 intensity connected with the springtime transition of the atmospheric circulation is found in both time series. For the first time a change of the temperature vertical gradient sign caused by mesopause height displacemet to a higher (winter) level was shown in the data of August-September 2001.

Statistical analysis of internal gravity wave parameters registered by variations of the hydroxyl molecule emission is presented. The wave structures are detected with an all sky infrared camera at the optical station of Maimaga (φ=63° N; λ=129.50°E geographic). The data obtained for the period of 1998 to 2002 show that the small-scale internal gravity waves propagate predominantly westward. The observed wavelengths vary from 15.4 to 100 km. (the average value is ~40 km), the horizontal phase speeds are between 19 and 166 m s-¹ (the average value is ~63 m s-¹) and the estimated periods are 9-90 min (the average value is ~17 min). The wavelengths and phase speeds at high latitudes is probably due to the large intensities of the filtering winds compared to those in the middle atmosphere. The short waves (wavelengths shorter than 17.5 km) propagate in the same direction as the long ones.

The Jupiter is a powerful regular source of high-energy electrons (0,2-40 MeV). In this connection their density in the near-Earth space systematically increases with a period of 399 days, which is coincident with the synodic period of Jupiter. According to our estimations, their energy is sufficient to produce a significant local reduction of the magnetic field in the IMF sector connected with the Jupiter. In this paper the evidence is presented that the electron fluxes in the Jovian sector are controlled by the general magnetic field of the Sun. A treatment of 399-day intervals of the electron fluxes and IMF, obtained from spacecraft data for the period of 1963 to 2000 has been performed by superposed epoch technique taking into account the periodic change of the solar magnetic field polarity. Having adopted the Jupiter opposition day to be an epoch zero, the changes in particle intensity and IMF components under different signs of the general magnetic field of the Sun are found by using a large dataset (9925 days). The times of 399-day variation maxima in different periods of solar activity are compared and a character of their displacement relative to Jupiter opposition momentsis discussed.

Examination of auroral absorption (AA) occurrence rate and AA meridional distribution versus local time and in the course of the solar cycle has been performed by riometer observations from 1985 to 1995 at the longitude of Yakutsk. Geomagnetic latitude of the region of absorption maximum occurrence changes in the course of the solar cycle from 66.5° to 64.4°. The largest displacement of this region to lower latitudes is observed during years of maximum solar activity. The half-width of the region is ~8° at solar minimum and ~10° at solar maximum. It has been also revealed that the region of AA is shifted to higher latitudes at daytime (1000-1400LT), and to lower ones in the evening (1800-2000LT), the displacement from the daily average position being ~1° and ~3° in the years of solar activity maximum and minimum, respectively. In all years at 2000-2100LT a short-term extension of the AA region by 1-4° is observed. The interpretation of the observationa is proposed.
