Scientific paper

Intense poleward-directed electric fields were observed by OGO-6 in the premagnetic midnight F-region, close to the Harang discontinuity and at latitudes of less than 60 deg invariant. These results support the recent measurements of Smiddy et al. (1977). Both sets of data are consistent with a compression of equipotentials on the low latitude edge of the premidnight convection cell, caused by an impediment of the substorm-related southwestward expansion of the convection pattern.
