Scientific paper

Attention is given to low altitude observations of the high latitude convection electric field, obtained by means of polar orbiting spacecraft, coherent and incoherent scatter radars, and ground-based magnetometers. Contradictory observation results are noted for the case of plasma flow both into, and out of, the polar cap, and no simple relationship is found between the sign of the B(y) component of the IMF and the local time location of the throat region. It is suggested that, under active conditions, the plasma entry and exit regions rotate toward earlier times and there is a significant component of dawn-dusk flow across the polar cap. Upon this process, some B(y) component-dependence of the plasma entry region may be superimposed.
