Electrodynamic coupling between ionospheric convection patterns in the northern and southern hemispheres

A numerical model of the high-latitude ionospheric electric field is presented. To perform the calculations, a model of the field-aligned current source is proposed. The electric field patterns are calculated consistently both in the northern and southern hemispheres. Effects of season, universal ti...
