Variability of Earth’s ionospheric outflow in response to the dynamic terrestrial exosphere

The most abundant neutral constituent in the exospheric region (i.e., beyond ≈ 500 km altitude) is the atomic hydrogen (H); however, its density distributions predicted by physics-based models have been challenged by satellite-based observations of its far ultraviolet emissions. This discrepancy may...
