Summary

Abstract: The Polar spacecraft was launched on February 24, 1996, to obtain data from
both high- and low-altitude perspectives of this active region of geospace.
High above the poles the particles of the solar wind and the energy of the wind
can find their way into the magnetosphere. At lesser altitudes energy is
transferred from electric fields and electromagnetic waves to electrons that
then plunge into ...
