Title:

Abstract:
Further evidence is presented for an association, postulated by Dearden 1962, between the Outer Van Allen Belt, the FAI arcs obser ed from Brisbane, and the 6300 A airglow arcs. The phenomena associated with a discontinuous increase in the northward speed of an FAI arc are studied and the event is interpreted as arising from some form of impact on the magnetosphere. The occurrence of an annular echo and its associated phenomena is interpreted as an observation of the Outer Belt dumping radiation into the atmosphere. Author
