In their paper, Denig et al. [1993] (hereafter referred to as DEA) present a case study of some dayside auroral transients, using optical observations from the ground with in situ data from several Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites. Their primary conclusion is that the contribution of these events to the total ionospheric onvection is small, contrary to recent findings for different events by Lockwood et al. [ 1990a]. In this comment, we do not necessarily take issue with this conclusion for the particular events DEA discuss. This is because these events were small and would not have
