DAV-ZHS Cross-phase [Degrees] -90 90 0 Azimuthal pairs of stations were used to produce Cross-phase spectrograms There are both diurnal and frequency variations in cross-phase Frequency [mHz] Δ UT [Hour]
VYV-RIK Cross-phase [Degrees] -90 90 0 Cross-phase spectrograms for each azimuthally spaced pair of stations have clear differences. Particularly 2 hours each side of Local magnetic noon Frequency [mHz] Δ UT [Hour]
IMF control of field line topology – Bz Effect The Ф5 index: Phase difference between 2 azimuthally spaced stations Closed field lines
IMF control of field line topology – Bz~0 Closed field lines Anti-sunward azimuthal motion
IMF control of field line topology – Bz Negative Open field lines convective motion
IMF control of field line topology – Bz Variable Mixed - 0pen-closed field lines
