Running the APL Map Potential Software With Southern Hemisphere SuperDARN Data.

The JHU/APL global convection mapping software is proving a useful tool, combining as it does SuperDARN line-of-sight velocity observations with the APL convection model to provide estimates of the polar ionospheric convection. As yet, the application of this software has been confined to the Northern hemisphere. At BAS, the software has been modified to allow the production of Southern hemisphere ionospheric convection maps using the Southern hemisphere SuperDARN radars. We report on the assumptions made in this adaptation and present some examples of the Southern hemisphere mapping.
