Joule heating patterns as a function of polar cap index

Previous work by Chun et al. [1999] has shown that the polar cap (PC) index can be used as a proxy indicator of the integrated Joule heating rate in the Northern Hemisphere. However, knowledge of the spatial distribution of Joule heating is also important. The PC index is a single magnetometer stati...
