Ion Injection and Acceleration in the Polar Cusp

  • Chapter
The Polar Cusp

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 145))

Abstract

This paper discusses cusp ion observations and their relationship to the morphology and dynamics of the polar cusp. Ion mass spectrometer data are used to illustrate the mixing of solar wind, ionospheric, and magnetospheric plasmas that occurs in the cusp.
