Summary and future work
15
● The polar cap patches originate from plasma that is poleward of the dayside LCS boundary.
● The necessary condition for the PCPs’ formation is that storm enhanced density exists poleward of the LCS.
● The LCSs are likely representative of the material transport barriers.
● The modeled LCSs form channels through which the polar cap patches propagate.
● Next step is to apply the LCS method to small-scale irregularity, which will require:
o An algorithm for computing local LCS.
o High spatial resolution flows.

Introduction
18
Polar cap patch
● Is a few 100-km-scale ionospheric enhancement.
● Appears at high-latitude upper atmosphere.
● Is associated with the plasma density irregularities.
● Causes Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal scintillation.
Tracking patches will:
● Provide better understanding of its formation.
● Improve the predictability of space environment.
● Help to avoid the effect of GNSS signal scintillation.
