Terrestrial ions populating the magnetosphere
Date: 21 November 2004 Satellite: Double Star Depicts: Diagram of upflowing terrestrial ions Copyright: Courtesy, S. Fu and P. Ruan, Peking University, Beijing, China Show in archive: true
Sketch of upflowing terrestrial ions populating the magnetosphere. The thin lines show the trajectory of the ions. For simplicity the ions observed during quiet periods are shown in the Northern hemisphere and those observed during active periods are shown in the Southern hemisphere; in reality they are all observed in both hemispheres.
