Scientific paper

The superDARN radar network produces maps of ionospheric convection over the entire northern-hemisphere polar region on a routine basis. By assuming equipotential magnetic field lines and taking standard magnetic field models, such as Tsyganenko T96 or T01, it is possible to extend these convection patterns into many regions of the magnetosphere. In this paper we demonstrate how this mapping is being done and compare the results with in-situ observations from spacecraft in the outer magnetosphere. In particular, the IMF dependence of magnetospheric convection in the tail lobes, throughout the plasma sheet, and in the magnetospheric boundary layer are discussed.
