... The dawn-to-dusk potential drop across the polar cap varies from about 30 kV for quiet geomagnetic activity, to about 60 kV for average geomagnetic activity, and to about 150-200 kV during geomagnetic storms. In addition, for greater geomagnetic activity the convection pattern expands equatorward by about 5° from its normal quiet-time position.
