Abstract-Calculations using a numerical model of the convection dominated high latitude ionosphere are compared with observations made by EISCAT as part of the UK-POLAR Special Programme. The data used were for 24-25 October 1984, which was characterized by an unusually steady IMF, with Bz < 0 an...
