Production of polar cap electron density patches by transient magnetopause reconnection
Abstract. Some implications are considered of recent theoretical work concerning the excitation of dayside ionospheric convection by magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause. In particular, transient bursts of such reconnection ('flux transfer events') are considered as a cause of...
