The effect of the IMF changes on the direction of the polar-cap F-region convection is investigated by relating the results of ionospheric-drift measurements made with a Digisonde 256 sounder located at Qaanaaq (northern Greenland) with IMF measurements conducted by the IMP 8 satellite for 32 days during 1986, 1987, and 1988. It was found that the Digisonde drift measurements agreed extremely well with satellite IMF measurements when the IMF z component was negative. The results demonstrate the utility of the Digisonde for ground-based measurements of the convection direction in the polar-cap F region when Bz is negative.
