Comparison of the open-closed field line boundary location inferred using IMAGE-FUV SI12 images and EISCAT radar observations

We compare the location of the polar cap boundary (PCB) determined using two different techniques, and use them as proxies for the open-closed field line boundary (OCB). Electron temperatures from observations of the EISCAT radar facility are used to estimate the latitude of the PCB along the mer...
