Geophysical Phenomena in the Polar Cap During Northward Interplanetary Magnetic Field; IUGG General Assembly, 20th, Vienna, Austria, August 1991The interaction of the Earth's magnetosphere with the solar wind and northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) continues to raise scientific interest and controversy. A selected group of papers from a conference on this topic discuss the following subjects: electric field generation, theoretical models of polar-cap convection, polar-cap distributions, dependencies of the polar-cap auroral distribution, and boundary populations in the polar-caps. Also discussed are satellite observations of polar arcs and mapping of the ionospheric convection response.
