Using data of observations over the airglow in the upper atmosphere over Eastern Siberia (52°N, 104°E), the properties of mid-latitude auroras and emission perturbations in the upper atmosphere during magnetic storms in the periods of the high solar activity in 1989-1993 and 1997-2000 are analyzed. It is suggested that Eastern Siberia is a favorable region for monitoring and investigation of mid-latitude auroras under conditions of geomagnetic perturbations.
