CLUSTER observations of electron outflowing beams carrying downward currents above the polar cap by northward IMF
Above the polar cap, at about 5–9 Earth radii (<I>R<sub>E</sub></I>) altitude, the PEACE experiment onboard CLUSTER detected, for the first time, electron beams outflowing from the ionosphere with large and variable energy fluxes, well collimated along the magnet...
