- Abstract:
Electrically charged oxygen atoms (green) are ejected into the magnetosphere due to heating in the ionosphere. The red thermometer displays the intensity of the solar wind (dynamic pressure) measured by the Geotail spacecraft. The yellow thermometer represents the source intensity or hydrogen counts as measured by IMAGE-LENA.
