Description
Using an innovative holistic simulation algorithm that can self-consistently treat a system that evolves as cooperation between macroscopic and microscopic processes, the evolution of a colorful aurora arc is beautifully reproduced as the result of cooperation between the global field-aligned feedback instability of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system and the ensuing microscopic ion-acoustic instability that generates electric double layers and accelerates aurora electrons. These results are in agreement with rocket and satellite observations. This shows that the proposed holistic algorithm could be a reliable tool to reveal complex real dramatic events and become, in the near future, a viable scientifically secure prediction tool for natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides and floods caused by typhoons.
