Ionospheric localisation and expansion of long‐period Pi1 pulsations at substorm onset
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We examine the initial ionospheric localisation and expansion of Pi1 pulsations associated with a substorm onset observed on 1st November 2006 with the combined CARISMA and THEMIS GMAG network of ground‐based magnetometers. We demonstrate how the first ionospheric pulsation disturbance lies in the long‐period Pi1 band. The long‐period Pi1 pulsations at substorm onset are initially localised in longitude, and expands away from an epicentre in the ionosphere, with ∼16 s timing between stations. We further establish a link between the location of the downward field‐aligned current (FAC) element which subsequently develops within the substorm current wedge (SCW), and the initial location of the onset of long‐period Pi1 pulsations. The arrival of the initial long‐period Pi1 wavepacket demonstrates the importance of global networks of ground‐based magnetometers for probing substorm onset. The Pi1 expansion proceeds westward at a rate of approximately 1 MLT hour per ∼20 seconds, representing a very rapid expansion of the Pi1 signal at the ground. The resolution of the Pi1 localisation and the rate of expansion suggest Pi1 waves can play an important role in studies of the causal sequence of energy release in substorms.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
