The pulsed nature of the nightside contribution to polar cap convection: repetitive substorm activity under steady interplanetary driving

The aim of this study is to investigate the relative contributions of dayside and nightside processes to the spatial and temporal structure of polar cap plasma convection. The central parameter is the cross-polar cap potential (CPCP). Selecting a 10-h-long interval of stable interplanetary dri...
