Figure 3. Map of $N_mF2$ (in gray scale, $10^{11}$ m$^{-3}$) superimposed on the trajectories of plasma convection (red lines; the contour intervals are 5 kV). Model input parameters: IMF $B_z = -5 $ nT, $B_y = 0$, $V_{\mathrm{SW}} = 400$ km/s, $DOY = 360$, $Kp = 2$, $F10.7 = 80$, UT = 11:00. Plot is centered on the geomagnetic pole and circles are drawn every 10° down to 50° MLat.
