- Various subauroral optical features have been studied by analyzing data collected during periods of geomagnetic disturbances. Most events have been typically found at geomagnetic latitudes of 45-60 degrees. In this study, however, we present a red arc event found at geomagnetic 68 degrees north (L approximate to 7.1) in the Scandinavian sector during a period of geomagnetically quiet conditions within a short intermission between two high-speed solar wind events. The red arc appeared to coincide with a pseudo breakup at geomagnetic 71-72 degrees N and a rapid equatorward expansion of the polar cap. However, the red arc disappeared in approximately 7 min.
