• On the symmetry of ionospheric polar cap patch exits around magnetic midnight 

      Moen, Jøran Idar; Gulbrandsen, Njål; Clausen, Lasse Boy Novock (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-14)
      In this paper we examine how polar cap patches, which have been frozen into the antisolar flow over the polar cap, are transported into the nighttime auroral oval. First we present a detailed case study from 12 January 2002, with continuous observations of polar cap patches exiting into the nighttime auroral oval in the Scandinavian sector. Satellite images of the auroral oval and all-sky camera ...
    • Severe and localized GNSS scintillation at the poleward edge of the nightside auroral oval during intense substorm aurora

      In this paper we study how GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo navigation signals are compromised by strong irregularities causing severe phase scintillation (σϕ>1) in the nightside high-latitude ionosphere during a substorm on 3 November 2013. Substorm onset and a later intensification coincided with polar cap patches entering the auroral oval to become auroral blobs. Using Global Navigation Satellite Systems ...
