Auroral ion upflows in the F-region and topside ionosphere

Ion flow along geomagnetic field lines is an important mechanism in the coupling of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Over the last 25 years or so, a wealth of satellite and radar observations has revealed the ionosphere as a steady and significant source of magnetospheric plasma. In the auroral...
