Scientific paper

With the addition of magnetic field information to the Atmosphere Explorer C data base it is now possible to make simultaneous observations of charged particles, magnetic field perturbations, and ion drift velocity. The most recently compiled observations from this data set are presented, and attention is given to the observed relationships between the convection reversal boundary, the high-latitude limit of plasma sheet particles, and the high-latitude limit of the region 1 current sheets in the low-altitude ionosphere, taking into account the association with similar boundaries and regions in the distant magnetosphere. The observed relationships between these boundaries are further discussed in light of the current-generating mechanisms considered.
