Abstract :
New facilities established in the southern and northern polar regions in recent years have enabled extensive and simultaneous coverage of both polar ionospheres. The distributed high latitude ground-based observations are now being interpreted within the context of in-situ data being provided by a variety of ISTP-era spacecraft. This has created new opportunities for global (including conjugate) studies of particle precipitation, magnetic pulsations, ionospheric currents, radiowave emissions, and the structure and dynamics of the ionospheric plasma. This paper highlights several recent studies emphasizing the results of measurements made in Antarctica.
