The first high latitude plasma convection patterns using only data from the southern hemisphere
have been prepared using 2 years of data from the PACE HF radar.
Halley PACE radar data have been extensively used in several studies of high latitude convection patterns using the AMIE technique. A new techniques has been developed to determine the dayside reconnection voltage using HF radar data. It involves the measurement of the location of the open/closed field line and the plasma flow across the boundary. An assessment of the role of flux transfer events (FTEs) in driving dayside plasma convection is underway. The PACE measurements of plasma velocity variations and the recurrence rate of FTEs are critical input parameters to the model.
