Satellite drag effects due to uplifted oxygen neutrals during super magnetic storms

During intense magnetic storms, prompt penetration electric fields (PPEFs) through <i>E</i>  ×  <i>B</i> forces near the magnetic equator uplift the dayside ionosphere. This effect has been called the <q>dayside super-fountain effect</q>. Ion-neutral drag force...
