Ground-based optical determination of the b2i boundary: A basis for an optical MT-index

The equatorward boundary of the proton aurora corresponds to a transition from strong pitch angle scattering to bounce trapped particles. This transition has been identified as the b2i boundary in Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) ion data [Newell et al., 1996]. We use ion data from 29...
