Scientific paper

The polar rain variation during four consecutive solar rotations is studied. It is demonstrated that the asymmetric enhancement of the polar rain flux is strongly controlled by the sector structure of the IMF, and that significant polar rain fluxes can sometimes occur over both polar regions for extended durations. The intensity of these fluxes does not show any relationship to the density of the solar wind, suggesting that the origin of the polar rain electrons is different from the commonly observed part of the solar wind electron distribution function.
