Coherent mesoscale convection patterns during northward interplanetary magnetic field
Abstract
Coincident DE 2 satellite plasma-drift and particle measurements and all-sky imaging photometer data were used to construct two-dimensional convection patterns in a study of polar ionospheric convection in the presence of subvisual-intensity soft-particle excited 6300-A sun-aligned polar cap arcs. Results show a highly anisotropic temporally stable convection with greater order than has previously been suspected.
