High-latitude plasma convection from Cluster EDI measurements: method and IMF-dependence

Description : We have used vector measurements of the electron drift velocity made by the Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) on Cluster between February 2001 and March 2006 to derive statistical maps of the high-latitude plasma convection. The EDI measurements, obtained at geocentric distances between and#8764;4 and...
