Observations have been made at 21 cm with a resolution of 11′ to look for fine structure in the polarization distribution. In the North Polar Spur, the angular scale of the polarization parameters varies with latitude. This is attributed to an increase in the irregularity of the magnetic field in the Spur with latitude.
