      Li, Kun; Förster, Matthias; Rong, Zhaojin; Haaland, Stein; Kronberg, E.; Cui, Jun; Chai, Lihui; Wei, Yong (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      When the geomagnetic field is weak, the small mirror force allows precipitating charged particles to deposit energy in the ionosphere. This leads to an increase in ionospheric outflow from the Earth's polar cap region, but ...
