A sequence of three high latitude passes by the De-2 spacecraft has been studied using high spatial resolution data from several instruments to investigate the local thermospheric response to a discrete auroral arc. Three passes, orbits 1847, 1848, and 1849, which occurred on 6 December 1981, cross an isolated, discrete arc in the evening auroral oval. Observations of neutral winds, ion winds, neutral densities, energetic electron spectrum, and neutral temperatures were examined at a spatial resolution of approximately approx. 8 km. The observations illustrate the response of the thermosphere to the local insertion of energy and momentum and provide the basis for a more critical test of the various theoretical models that have predicted local thermospheric phenomena. The results are presented and discussed in relation to the predictions of three such local models.
