The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) of HF coherent radars routinely report the so-called cross polar cap potential (CPCP), a voltage applied by the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) onto the high-latitude ionosphere. The CPCP ultimately drives the global-scale plasma ci...
