Ionospheric convection auroral latitudes examined during a series of long duration experiments with the Chatanika, AK, incoherent scatter radar is discussed. It is noted that the experiments have been carefully designed to obtain maximum latitudinal coverage (56 deg Lambda-75 deg Lambda) while maintaining a temporal resolution of 30 min in order to resolve the effects of individual substorms on the convection pattern. Design criteria for the experiments are described, and observational data acquired during 400 hr of radar operations during various levels of geophysical disturbance are presented. The data emphasize the repeatability of the gross features of the auroral convection and its basic conformity to the two-cell pattern predicted from the large-scale magnetospheric circulation.
