spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 20 September 1998, 2020 UT (RR) . Traveling Convection Vortex (TCV) is a name given to a specific type of daytime magnetic impulsive events observed by high-latitude ground-based magnetometer arrays. Since the most likely source for TCVs is the solar wind , they are considered to be important processes in transfering energy from the solar wind into the magnetosphere . ... For example, one AMPTE Lithium release in the solar wind caused a TCV event . ...
