Observations of polar patches generated by solar wind Alfvén wave coupling to the dayside magnetosphere
A long series of polar patches was observed by ionosondes and an all-sky imager during a disturbed period (<i>K<sub>p</sub></i> = 7- and IMF<i> B<sub>z</sub></i> < 0). The ionosondes measured electron densities of up to 9 × 10<sup>11<...
