Earth atmospheric loss through the plasma mantle and its dependence on solar wind parameters

Abstract Atmospheric loss and ion outflow play an important role in the magnetospheric dynamics and in the evolution of the atmosphere on geological timescales—an evolution which is also dependent on the solar activity. In this paper, we investigate the total $$\hbox{O}^+$$ O+ outflow [$$\hbox{s}^{-...
