  3. 3. This is just a matter of geometry, really.
  4. 4. Total power is UT-dependent, but ULF activity is generally MLT- dependent

  9. 9. Total power is UT-dependent, but ULF activity is generally MLT-dependent AGO5 is the only unique polar cap magnetometer Since AGO5 and AGO6 are supposedly at about the same geomagnetic latitude according to IGRF / CGM, we can conjecture two things:" (1) The models wrongly depict the latitude of the highest-latitude sites" (2) Either the deepest polar cap sites simply have distinct ULF proles relative to the peripheral polar cap sites, or the peripheral polar cap sites are not truly on open eld lines as thought, but nominally rest on extremely stretched, closed eld lines CONCLUSIONS
