Building on the analysis of the previous paper by one of us, we here turn first to a discussion of B0943+ 10’s chaotic “Q” mode and then to the polarisation properties of its “B”-mode radiation. Here again, we see evidence that the plasma processes responsible for pulsar emission may be organized into a system of columns. In short, 0943+10 provides unprecedented insight into the phenomena comprising what might be termed pulsar polar-fluxtube “weather”.
