AMPERE polar cap boundaries [PDF]
The high-latitude atmosphere is a dynamic region with processes that respond to forcing from the Sun, magnetosphere, neutral atmosphere, and ionosphere. Historically, the dominance of magnetosphere–ionosphere interactions has motivated upper atmospheric

GPS scintillations associated with cusp dynamics and polar cap patches [PDF]
This paper investigates the relative scintillation level associated with cusp dynamics (including precipitation, flow shears, etc.) with and without the formation of polar cap patches around the cusp inflow region by the EISCAT Svalbard radar (ESR) and ...

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

Uranus's northern polar cap in 2014. [PDF]
AbstractIn October and November 2014, spectra covering the 1.436 to 1.863‐μm wavelength range from the SINFONI Integral Field Unit Spectrometer on the Very Large Telescope showed the presence of a vast bright north polar cap on Uranus, extending northward from about 40°N and at all longitudes observed.

A Case Study of Polar Cap Sporadic-E Layer Associated with TEC Variations
The Sporadic-E (Es) layer is an often-observed phenomenon at high latitudes; however, our understanding of the polar cap Es layer is severely limited due to the scarce number of measurements.

Storm time polar cap expansion: interplanetary magnetic field clock angle dependence [PDF]
It is well known that the polar cap, delineated by the open–closed field line boundary (OCB), responds to changes in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).

The pulsed nature of the nightside contribution to polar cap convection: repetitive substorm activity under steady interplanetary driving [PDF]
The aim of this study is to investigate the relative contributions of dayside and nightside processes to the spatial and temporal structure of polar cap plasma convection. The central parameter is the cross-polar cap potential (CPCP). Selecting a 10-

Recently research advances on the polar cap patches
The polar cap patch is a common ionospheric structure. It often appears in the F region of the ionosphere over the polar caps; these patches are usually characterized by electron densities that can be even twice greater than that of the surrounding area.

Determining decay rates of polar cap plasma using bservations of polar cap patches [PDF]
Polar cap patches are large scale structures occurring in the high-latitude ionosphere. They are regions of enhanced plasma density of at least twice the background density, and they are often observed in the polar cap region. The primary decay mechanism
