Scientific paper

Measurements performed during a single orbit of the IKB-1300 satellite in the northern and southern polar caps have shown the following. When the IMF has a component which is stable and considerable (Bz > 0) and |By| ≡ Bz, the convection pattern is irregular both in the illuminated (summer) polar cap and also in the unilluminated (winter) cap. Convection in the solar direction occurs sporadically. The impulsive nature of sunward convection seems to be due either to an impulsive process of magnetic field reconnection (FTE type of events) or to the development of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities.
