Polar patches observed by esr and their possible origin in the cusp region

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Ionosphere (ionosphereu00b1magnetosphere and collaborators from the Department of Physics, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, BZ, UK have published the research: Polar patches observed by ESR and their possible origin in the cusp region, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)

SUMMARY

Long-lived enhancements of ionospheric plasma, known as polar patches, drift in the anti-Sunward convection ¯ow across the polar cap. Patches occur predominantly under conditions of IMF Bz southward and drift across the polar cap at speeds of typically 300± 1000 ms)1 (Buchau et_al, 1983). Pederson et_al observed patch structures on horizontal scales . . .
