Unsolved problems: Mesoscale polar cap flow channels’ structure, propagation, and effects on space weather disturbances

Dynamic mesoscale flow structures move across the open field line regions of the polar caps and then enter the nightside plasma sheet where they can cause important space weather disturbances, such as streamers, substorms, and omega bands. The polar cap structures have long durations (apparently at...
