Scientific paper

The high temporal and spatial resolution of the Polar Anglo-American Conjugate Experiment radar data have permitted the evolution and formation of a transient plasma velocity signature in the cusp ionosphere to be studied. The signature satisfies a number of the predictions of theoretical models that require the formation of vortices. A much weaker enhancement in velocities is shown in the Northern Hemisphere, which is consistent with the vector superposition arguments presented by Crooker (1979) for the antiparallel merging model.
