AB: The THEMIS ground based observatory (GBOs) network provides 20 new white-light all-sky imagers operating at a 3-second cadence. Data from the first full season (2006-7) provides an unprecedented opportunity to study continent-scale auroral processes at high spatial and temporal resolution. In addition, multi-spectral imagers from other projects give us essential information about auroral boundaries and precipitation characteristics. Our focus for this work is on the azimuthal (longitudinal) structure and dynamics of auroral regions and boundaries.
