Substorms on February 26, 2008: Synthesis of the outside-in and inside-out scenarios

Data of measurements made onboard THEMIS satellites and data of high-latitude system of ground magnetometers that were processed using the magnetogram inversion technique are used to describe the time sequence of the basic processes of substorms on February 26, 2008. The conclusion is made that this sequence of events does not agree with either of the two known substorm scenarios, Outside-In and Inside-Out, but agrees with the result of their synthesis.
