Energy dispersed ion signatures at auroral and subauroral latitudes
During magnetically disturbed periods, the spatially and temporally structured electron precipitation in the auroral zone creates a significant population of thermal secondary ions. Acceleration mechanisms exist that are capable of energizing the thermal population to suprathermal energies (1 eV to...
