Global Auroral Imaging as a Remote Diagnostic of GeospaceImages of the Earth's aurora, taken from space, can be used to examine plasma behavior throughout the magnetospheric regions surrounding the earth. The coupling of the magnetospheric plasmas through the ionosphere are discussed. A summary of past and current imaging technology is given and then specific examples of remote sensing are given using images from the Ultraviolet Imager aboard the POLAR satellite.
