Using the Equator-S spacecraft and SuperDARNHF radars an extensive survey of bursty reconnection at the magnetopause andassociated flows in the polar ionosphere has been conducted. Flux transfer event(FTE) signatures were identified in the Equator-S magnetometer data duringperiods of magnetopause contact in January and February 1998. Assuming theeffects of the FTEs propagate to the polar ionosphere as geomagneticfield-aligned-currents and associated Alfvén-waves, appropriate field mappingsto the fields-of-view of SuperDARN radars were performed. The radars observeddiscrete ionospheric flow channel events (FCEs) of the type previously assumedto be related to pulse reconnection. Such FCEs were associated with sim80% ofthe FTEs and the two signatures are shown to be statistically associated withgreater than 99% confidence. Exemplary case studies highlight the nature of theionospheric flows and their relation to the high latitude convection pattern,the association methodology, and the problems caused by instrument limitations.  <b>Key words:</b> Ionosphere (polar ionosphere) ·Magnetospheric physics (magnetosphere-ionosphere interaction; solarwind-magnetosphere interactions
