Description
The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) is an international collaboration of High Frequency (HF) radars located in the mid and high-latitude zones of
the northern hemispheres and the southern hemispheres. These HF radars operate
and transmit signals at a frequency ranging from 8-20 MHz, although in most cases
they are operational at frequencies between 10 and 14 MHz. In this study, we
determine the response of the southern hemisphere SuperDARN convection maps to sustained changes in the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) as measured by magnetometers on the ACE satellite during 2011. The focus here was on periods for which the clock angle of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) was stable for at least one hour in any quadrant. SuperDARN data from
the southern hemisphere was used as results from the northern hemisphere have already appeared in the literature. Cross-correlation
was used to determine the time lag between the IMF clock angle and the Cross Polar
Cap potential (CPCP) as determined from SuperDARN convection maps.
