Scientific paper

The present analysis of electric field measurements from the Dynamics Explorer 2 satellite, which extends previous empirical models, emcompasses much data from polar crossings entering and exiting the high latitudes in all magnetic local time zones. The goal is to represent the typical distributions of convective electric fields with a minimum number of characteristic patterns. Significant large-scale revisions of the OGO 6 dawn-dusk measurement models are made. The deformations of the two-cell patterns lead to sunward convection in dayside polar regions, while maintaining the integrity of the nightside convection pattern.
