| | Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | The conversion mechanisms include (1) mirror impedance, (2) anomalous resistivity, (3) inertial resistivity, (4) weak double layers, (5) wave-particle resonances, (6) cavitons, and (7) wide-band turbulence. |
 | | Whereas the mirror impedance (1) is an extraneous property, all the others are self- generated, either by intense electric currents ((2), (3), (4)), by beams (5) or non-linearly interacting waves ((6), (7)). |
 | | The most impressive auroral displays are essentially created by the low-frequency energy carriers and the impedances (1) to (4) acting on the currents. |
