Relating field-aligned beams to inverted-V structures and visible auroras

The ion composition experiment on Cluster measures 3-D distributions in one spin of the spacecraft (4 s). These distributions often measure field-aligned ion beams (H<sup>+</sup>, He<sup>+</sup> and O<sup>+</sup>) accelerated out of the ionosphere. The standard...
