Scientific paper

This paper presents two case studies of the large-scale nightside ionospheric plasma convection observed in the two polar regions utilizing HF backscatter radars. The times at which the nightside flow reversal (the Harang discontinuity) occurs is seen to differ by several hours between the two study periods and between the two hemispheres. Flow reversal appeared simply to be shifted to later magnetic times in the Southern Hemisphere, while the evening westward flow was disrupted by the occurrence of eastward flow ahead of the Harang discontinuity in the Northern Hemisphere.
