The yellow lines on this map delineate the zonal boundaries of the four sectors used for this study. The solid red line shows the magnetic equator, while the dashed red line indicates ±10° from the magnetic equator, which is used to restrict vertical plasma drift measurements. These zones are chosen to roughly correspond to regions of low variance in magnetic declination. Drift measurements and bubbles are binned together based on these zonal regions.
