Les auteurs ne semblent pas s'entendre sur la localisation de la zone aurorale. L'Organisation météorologique international (Vocabulaire météorologique international) la situe à environ 10 à 15° de chaque pôle géomagnétique. G.-Oscar Villeneuve (Glossaire de météorologie et de climatologie) la situe pour sa part à environ 20 à 25° de latitude géomagnétique alors que la Commission électrotechnique internationale mentionne entre 20 et 30°. 3, record 1, French, - zone%20aurorale
