Comparison of the magnetic equivalent convection direction and ionospheric convection observed by the SuperDARN radars

SuperDARN radar and high-latitude magnetometer observations are used to statistically investigate quality of the convection direction estimates from magnetometer data if assumption is made that the magnetic equivalent convection vector (MEC) corresponds to the convection direction. The statistic...
