On 12 September 2014 the IMF turned very strongly northward for a prolonged period of time, reaching up to 28 nT at some point. Clauer et al (JGR, Space Physics, 121, 5422, 2016) showed from RISR-N Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) data at Resolute Bay that the convection on the sunward side of the polar cap was very strong and sunward during this exceptional event, with a convection electric...

Plasma flow patterns at northward-oriented IMF are not well defined. For example, near noon sunward flows (reverse flows) often deviate from the midnight-noon meridian and the amount of deviation can be as large as several hours of magnetic local time. Over the last several years, significant data on reverse flows have been accumulated in the Canadian sector of Arctic where three PolarDARN...

2141. Science Effects of Observing Affects of Langmuir Probe Coatings on Swarm (G)*

The European Space Agency’s trio of Swarm were launched in November 2013 to measure the environment around Earth using a suite of instruments. Each satellite is equipped with two Langmuir probes that run in parallel and have different coatings. One is gold plated and the other has a titanium nitrate coating. This configuration on each satellite provides an opportunity to study if and how...
