Abstract
We presented the results of the analysis of VLF signals of the RSDN-20 radio navigation system recorded at Lovozero, Verkhnetulomsky (both on the Kola Peninsula) and Barentsburg (Svalbard Archipelago) observatories. We found events of an unusual decrease in the amplitude of the horizontal magnetic field at night ionospheric conditions, which occurred during substorms with the AL index below –500 nT. The cases, when optical observations were available during the substorm according to which auroral precipitation were registered, are considered. The observed effect is probably associated with local fluctuations in the electron density profile of the lower ionosphere caused by auroral precipitations during a substorm.
