Plasma convection jets near the poleward boundary of the nightside auroral oval and their relation to Pedersen conductivity gradients
In this work, we have shown that the ionospheric azimuthal plasma velocity jets near the open-closed field line boundary on the nightside can be associated with the peak in the ionospheric conductivity gradient. Both model and DMSP observations have been utilized to conduct this investigation. T...
