The theoretical prediction of the “classical” polar wind dates back to the works of Banks et al., Lemaire et al., Marubashi, Nishida, and other authors in the late sixties and early seventies. Since then, direct in-situ observations of the polar wind have been made on a number of satellites above the topside ionosphere, notably ISIS-2, Akebono, and DE-1, at altitudes of 1400–50,000 km. In this...

The Thermal Ion Imagers (TII) on the Swarm satellites measure ion distribution functions which carry information about ion temperature in the topside ionosphere. Ion temperature, which is obtained from the second moments of the imaged ion distribution, requires validation. One way to evaluate the accuracy of the TII ion temperature, as well as electron temperatures and densities measured by...

In the context of scintillation, the chaotic behavior of the ionospheric plasma in the high latitude region is investigated using the GPS (Global Positioning System). The study is carried out with the use of the data from the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN). The L1 GPS signal, sampled at 50 Hz, is characterized and analyzed. The statistical analysis is performed on both...
