Multi-Radar Mapping of Auroral Convection

Simultaneous radar azimuth scans with the Millstone Hill, Sondrestrom, and EISCAT incoherent scatter radars produce maps of the ionospheric convection electric field at high latitudes which span 10 hours of magnetic local time. A series of convection “snapshots” made during an interval of increasing...
