Scientific paper

A case study showing the temporal response of the dayside ionospheric convection to a rapid change in magnetosheath, By, is carried out using high-resolution sub-min data from a widely distributed array of ground magnetometers and concurrent observations made by the ISEE-1 and -2 spacecraft in the vicinity of the magnetopause. The observations include evidence of large sudden switch in the polarity of By component on September 12, 1978, recorded by the ISEE-2 shortly after an outbound magnetopause crossing. The flip in the polarity of By (from a state appropriate to being continuously positive to a state appropriate to By continuously negative) resulted in a corresponding reorganization of the ionospheric flow pattern. During the period prior to the sudden By change, reconnection was taking place at the magnetopause and was in all likelihood ongoing throughout the interval studied.
