Determination of Polar Cap Boundary for the Substorm Event of 8 March 2008

The polar cap boundary (PCB) is a fundamental indicator of magnetospheric activities especially during a substorm cycle. Taking a period on 8 March 2008 as an example, we investigate the location of PCB and its dynamics during a substorm event. The PCB location is determined from the Piecewise Parab...
