POLAR CAP INDEX VERSUS POLAR CAP POTENTIAL VARIATIONS AS A SUBJECT OF THE SOLAR WIND-MAGNETOSPHERE INTERACTIONS
Polar Cap Index (PCI) had been suggested as an opportunity to estimate geomagnetic activity level from a single ground based magnetometer measurements close to the magnetic pole. It was shown that PCI is an approximate manifestation of the convection electric field at high latitudes under assumption...

Polar Cap Index (PCI) had been suggested as an opportunity to estimate geomagnetic activity level from a single ground based magnetometer measurements close to the magnetic pole. It was shown that PCI is an approximate manifestation of the convection electric field at high latitudes under assumption that magnetic disturbances are mainly due to the Hall currents. In the present paper, cross polar cap potential (Φpc) data from 549 North pole passes around spring equinox 1998, taken from Special Sensor-Ions, Electrons and Scintillation (SSIES) instrument on DMSP-F13 satellite, under Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) are used.
