Scientific paper

An almost shear flow reversal at the polar cap boundary was observed during a run of the Polar experiment performed on the EISCAT radar in June 1987. Ion flows are explored based on results obtained for the effect of the velocity shears on the beamswinging technique. For certain orientations of the cap boundary, it is found that spurious flows into the cap can be generated which are much smaller than the observed flows into the polar cap.
