The nightside magnetic field line open–closed boundary and polar rain electron energy-latitude dispersion
The polar rain electrons near the open–closed field line boundary on the nightside often exhibit energy-latitude dispersion, in which the energy decreases with decreasing latitude. The solar wind electrons from the last open-field line would <i><b>E</b></i> × <...
