Characteristics of the flankmagnetopause: Cluster observations
S. Haaland, J. Reistad, P. Tenfjord +6
The magnetopause is a current sheet forming the boundary between the geomagnetic field on one side and the shocked solar wind on the other side. This paper discusses properties of…

Solar illumination control of ionospheric outflow above polar cap arcs
L. Maes, R. Maggiolo, J. De Keyser +4
We measure the flux density, composition, and energy of outflowing ions above the polar cap, accelerated by quasi-static electric fields parallel to the magnetic field and associat…

Estimation of cold plasma outflow during geomagnetic storms
S. Haaland, A. Eriksson, M. André +11
Low-energy ions of ionospheric origin constitute a significant contributor to the magnetospheric plasma population. Measuring cold ions is difficult though. Observations have to be…
