The very low energy thermal plasma (∼ 1 eV or several thousand degrees Kelvin) is often
overlooked in reviews of magnetospheric plasma populations, usually as a result of energy …

Recent research on the structure and dynamics of the magnetospheric thermal plasma
indicates that the vast region above an altitude of∼ 1000 km rivals the underlying …

Many classes of transient solar phenomena, such as flares, flare sprays, and eruptive
prominences, cause major disruptions in the magnetic geometry of the overlying corona …

Aeronomy, Part A is an attempt to make a comprehensive exposition of the processes in
aeronomy, the study of composition, movement, and thermal balance of the upper regions of …

Behavior of the polar ionospheric F layer as it is convected through the cleft, over the polar
cap, and through the nightside F layer trough zone is investigated. Passage through the cleft …

A review of the impact of the cold-ion and cold-electron populations in the Earth's
magnetosphere is presented. The cold populations are defined by total energy less than …

Ionospheric ions (mainly H+, He+, and O+) escape from the ionosphere and populate the
Earth's magnetosphere. Their thermal energies are usually low when they first escape the …

The acceleration of charged particles in the magnetic current sheets downstream from
magnetic neutral lines is discussed and related to the plasma populations expected to be …

Coulomb collisions between ring current protons and thermal electrons were first proposed
by Cole (1965) as the energy source for stable auroral red (SAR) arcs. Recent observations …

The polar wind is an ambipolar outflow of thermal plasma from the terrestrial ionosphere at
high latitudes to the magnetosphere along geomagnetic field lines. The polar wind plasma …
