Polar cap index comparisons with AMIE cross polar cap potential, electric field, and polar cap area
[1] The polar cap index (PCI) has been shown to be quite useful as an index of the electrodynamic processes within the high-latitude ionosphere. Here we use between 150 and 180 magnetometers to model the high-latitude electrodynamics with the assimilative mapping of ionospheric electrodynamics (AMIE) technique for all of 1997–2001. We compare AMIE calculations of the cross polar cap potential (...
متن کاملPolar cap influx
This study uses digital ionosonde data from a cusp latitude station (Cambridge Bay, 77 CGM lat.) to study the convection into the polar cap. Days when the IMF magnetic field was relatively steady were used. On many days it was possible to distinguish an interval near noon MLT when the ionosonde data had a different character from that at earlier and later times. Based on our data, and other pub...
متن کاملSTE3D-CAP: Stereoscopic 3D CAPTCHA
We present STE3D-CAP (pronounced as “steed-cap” /'stidkæp/), a text-based CAPTCHA that is built from stereoscopic 3D images. This is a completely new direction in CAPTCHA techniques. Our idea is to incorporate stereoscopic 3D images in order to present the CAPTCHA challenge in 3D, which will be easy for humans to read (as the text stands out in the 3D scene) but hard for computers. The main ide...
متن کاملInterplanetary magnetic field control of Saturn’s polar cusp aurora
Dayside UV emissions in Saturn’s polar ionosphere have been suggested to be the first observational evidence of the kronian “cusp” (Gérard et al., 2004). The emission has two distinct states. The first is a bright arclike feature located in the pre-noon sector, and the second is a more diffuse “spot” of aurora which lies poleward of the general location of the main auroral oval, which may be re...
متن کاملOn the observed variability of the cross–polar cap potential
[1] A study of the cross–polar cap potential estimated by the HF Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) during periods of steady interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and solar wind velocity is presented. The potential estimates were examined as time series along with time series of the IMF and solar wind. In addition, the data were examined statistically to obtain a best fit linear express...
