A comparison between ion characteristics observed by the POLAR and DMSP spacecraft in the high-latitude magnetosphere
We study here the injection and transport of ions in the convection-dominated region of the Earth's magnetosphere. The total ion counts from the CAMMICE MICS instrument aboard the POLAR spacecraft are used to generate occurrence probability distributions of magnetospheric ion populations. MI...
