A study of the low energy magnetospheric lobal wind and possible controlling factors

The results of a survey of the parameters of the flow of low energy particles in the low latitude lobes of the magnetospheric, the lobal wind, are presented. Data from the TIDE instrument on the Polar satellite are used to derive the characteristics (density, temperature, and flow speed) of the lobal wind. These characteristics and their behavior with changes in the magnetic field, solar wind, and other associated parameters are examined.
