On the altitude dependence of transversely heated O<sup>+</sup> distributions in the cusp/cleft

The present paper focuses on the altitude dependence of oxygen ion conics in the dayside cusp/cleft region. Here, combining oxygen data from the Akebono, Interball-2 and Cluster satellites allows, for the first time, one to follow the global development of energetic (up to ~10keV) ion outflow ov...
