| 内容記述 | The qualitative convection pattern presented by Burch et al. (1984) is extended here to all interplanetary magnetic field orientations. The model of Burch et al. is based on the antiparallel merging hypothesis of Crooker (1979) with the addition of small but finite cells driven by quasi-viscous processes on the dawn and dusk edges of the polar cap. Although the treatment presented here is only qualitative, interesting predictions are made about newly observed phenomena, such as theta auroras. |
