Ion precipitation in the cusp for northward IMF and its relationship with magnetosheath flow
Abstract If the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has a northward component, a portion of the solar wind ions flowing in the high-latitude magnetosheath drastically alters the flow direction owing to lobe reconnection and follows the Earth's magnetic field lines toward the low-altitude cusp....
