Abstract
A way of processing images to obtain information about ionospheric–magnetospheric plasma is described. Data from regular observations of auroras are used. Examples are given of triangulation using data from pairs of cameras with low (several kilometers) spatial diversity to determine the energy of precipitated electrons and numerically estimate the complexity of the spatial–temporal auroral dynamics.
