Multi-instrument observations identify the plasmapause region with tailward electric fields, kinetic Alfven waves, parallel electron acceleration, and perpendicular ion drift as the driver of STEVE and associated SAR arcs.
Since Te is the dominating parameter, Te ~ 7600 Kelvin could have produced red auroral emission of 7 to 17 kR which is visible to the human eye

Identifying the magnetospheric driver of STEVE
Multi-instrument observations identify the plasmapause region with tailward electric fields, kinetic Alfven waves, parallel electron acceleration, and perpendicular ion drift as the driver of STEVE and associated SAR arcs.
