The relationship between interhemispheric asymmetries in polar ionospheric convection and the magnetic field line footpoint displacement field

Polar electrodynamics is largely controlled by solar wind and magnetospheric forcing. Different conditions can make plasma convection and magnetic field disturbances asymmetric between hemispheres. So far, these asymmetries have been studied in isolation. We present an explanation of how they are li...
