Some times a middle latitudes, the aurora is so faint and tender that it is easily mistaken for a cloud. Or a ghost. 

Ghost?

Every night the auroral oval expands towards Abisko. With a just a gust of solar wind, there will be light. 

Gust

Not to worry. You will se a similar show again. 

A glimpse of magic

The spring time auroras is often magnificent and amplified via various factors in the angle towards the sun, the balance in the plasma lobes.... and so on. 

Equinox!

As the solar wind impacts the magnetosphere it´s almost vital that the Bz-compontent is directed southward as the energy from the solar wind then transfers to our system - creating far stronger auroras further south (on the northern hemisphere). (image, Gotland 18march 2015

Bz-component southward

Created back in 2011, originally named "a bucket of ice" is probably a well suited name still. Watching auroras is a patience game almost every time. Often in cold temperatures. But - the reward is known to be worth it.

So - when driving for clear patches of skies, it´s always a gamble and - speed needed.
