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 determine the large-scale convection in the magnetotail. In this paper we demonstrate how this mapping is being done and present a number of case study examples during substorm onsets and bursty bulk flow events. We compare the SuperDARN results with in-situ observations from the Cluster spacecraft and comment on the consistency.
