Fig. 3From: Occurrence characteristics and lowest speed limit of subauroral polarization stream (SAPS) observed by the SuperDARN Hokkaido East radarRelation between westward flow position and SYM-H. The vertical axis is MLAT and the horizontal axis is SYM-H. Three color curves show the empirical relationship between MLAT and Dst index obtained in a previous study (Wang et al. 2008). Each panel is for the 3-h MLT range. a 13–16 MLT, b 16–19 MLT, c 19–22 MLT, d 22–1 MLT, e 1–4 MLT, and f 4–7 MLTBack to article page
