Quasi-parallel electron beams and their possible application in inferring the auroral arc's root in the magnetosphere

In this study we investigate the upgoing electron beams at the topside ionosphere and their counterpart feature, the bidirectional quasi-parallel electron beams (QPEB) in the equatorial magnetosphere, with highlight on their potential application in estimating the location of the arc's root...
