HF radar polar patch formation revisited: summer and winter variations in dayside plasma structuring [PDF]
Three intervals of polar patch formation, as observed by the CUTLASS Finland HF coherent radar, are presented. Simultaneous observations from a vertical ionosonde located at Longyearbyen on Svalbard, situated in the dayside convection throat region,

Effects of electrojet turbulence on a magnetosphere-ionosphere simulation of a geomagnetic storm [PDF]
Ionospheric conductance plays an important role in regulating the response of the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system to solar wind driving. Typically, models of magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling include changes to ionospheric conductance driven by extreme ...

GPS ionospheric imaging of the north polar ionosphere on 30 October 2003
Abstract Maps of electron content retrieved from a 3-dimensional assimilation process of GPS TEC measurements are applied to observe the north polar ionosphere in the evening of 30 October 2003. Their reliability for large-scale imaging is discussed in comparison with GPS data coverage and radar observations.

Plasma channels in the Venus upper ionosphere [PDF]
The structure of the Venus nightside ionosphere is modeled in terms of a flow configuration derived from the position of the intermediate transition along the flanks of the ionosheath downstream from the magnetic polar regions.

Variations in the polar cap area during two substorm cycles [PDF]
This study employs observations from several sources to determine the location of the polar cap boundary, or open/closed field line boundary, at all local times, allowing the amount of open flux in the magnetosphere to be quantified.

Positive storm effects in the dayside polar ionospheric F-region observed by EISCAT and ESR during the magnetic storm of 15 May 1997 [PDF]
EISCAT/ESR radar data and in situ FAST and POLAR satellite observations are coordinately analyzed to investigate positive ionospheric storm effects in the dayside upper F-region in both the polar cap and the auroral oval during the magnetic storm ...

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.
