description abstracten found that the day/night band of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite is capable of observing rapid motions of the aurora. The images that led to this discovery are shown. Shifts in the apparent position of the aurora boundary between consecutive scans of the instrument, which occur ~1.79 s apart, allow the cross-track relative speed of the aurora to be calculated. The physical basis for these observations and the method for determining the speed of auroral motions are discussed. These new satellite observations compare favorably with ground-based measurements presented in previous studies.
