Validation of the stream function method used for reconstruction of experimental ionospheric convection patterns [PDF]
In this study we test a stream function method suggested by Israelevich and Ershkovich for instantaneous reconstruction of global, high-latitude ionospheric convection patterns from a limited set of experimental observations, namely, from the electric

Ionospheric convection during the magnetic storm of 20-21 March 1990 [PDF]
We report on the response of high-latitude ionospheric convection during the magnetic storm of March 20-21 1990. IMP-8 measurements of solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), ionospheric convection flow measurements from the Wick ...

Response of the convecting high-latitude F layer to a powerful HF wave [PDF]
A numerical model of the high-latitude ionosphere, which takes into account the convection of the ionospheric plasma, has been developed and utilized to simulate the F-layer response at auroral latitudes to high-power radio waves.

Ionospheric control of space weather [PDF]
As proposed by Saka (2019), plasma injections arising out of the auroral ionosphere (ionospheric injection) are a characteristic process of the polar ionosphere at substorm onset.

Ionospheric convection and equivalent ionospheric currents in the dayside high‐latitude winter ionosphere [PDF]
Ionospheric convection inferred from Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) HF radar measurements is compared with an equivalent ionospheric convection derived from ground magnetometer data in the dayside winter high‐latitude ionosphere. Although there was general agreement between observed convection patterns produced by radars and magnetometers,

Can the ionosphere regulate magnetospheric convection? [PDF]
Following a southward shift of the interplanetary magnetic field, which implies enhanced reconnection at the nose of the magnetosphere, the magnetopause shrinks from its Chapman-Ferraro equilibrium position. If the convective return of magnetic flux to the magnetopause equalled the reconnection rate, the magnetopause would not shrink.

The ionospheric signature of transient dayside reconnection and the associated pulsed convection return flow [PDF]
Three SuperDARN coherent HF radars are employed to investigate the excitation of convection in the dayside high-latitude ionosphere in response to transient reconnection occurring in the cusp region. This study demonstrates the existence of transient

Response of convection electric fields in the magnetosphere to IMF orientation change [PDF]
[1] The transient response of convection electric fields in the inner magnetosphere to southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is investigated using in‐situ electric field observations by the CRRES and Akebono spacecraft.

Dayside convection and auroral morphology during an interval of northward interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]
We investigate the dayside auroral dynamics and ionospheric convection during an interval when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) had predominantly a positive Bz component (northward IMF) but varying By.
