Polar cap index comparisons with AMIE cross polar cap potential, electric field, and polar cap area
[1] The polar cap index (PCI) has been shown to be quite useful as an index of the electrodynamic processes within the high-latitude ionosphere. Here we use between 150 and 180 magnetometers to model the high-latitude electrodynamics with the assimilative mapping of ionospheric electrodynamics (AMIE) technique for all of 1997–2001. We compare AMIE calculations of the cross polar cap potential (...

15 صفحه اولEvidence for thermospheric gravity waves in the southern polar cap from ground-based vertical velocity and photometric observations
Zenith-directed Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (FPS) and 3-Field Photometer (3FP) observations of the λ630 nm emission (∼240 km altitude) were obtained at Davis station, Antarctica, during the austral winter of 1999. Eleven nights of suitable data were searched for significant periodicities common to vertical winds from the FPS and photometric variations from the 3FP. Three wave-like events were foun...
متن کاملPolar cap influx
This study uses digital ionosonde data from a cusp latitude station (Cambridge Bay, 77 CGM lat.) to study the convection into the polar cap. Days when the IMF magnetic field was relatively steady were used. On many days it was possible to distinguish an interval near noon MLT when the ionosonde data had a different character from that at earlier and later times. Based on our data, and other pub...
