Scientific paper

Upflowing ion (UFI), beam, conic, and hybrid pitch angle distribution data obtained in the 8000-23,000-km altitude range by the energetic ion composition spectrometer of the DE 1 satellite during September 1981-June 1986 have been statistically analyzed. It is found that the source and transport mechanisms largely confine UFI to auroral field lines; no obvious one-to-one relationship is found between current direction and UFI source characteristics. O(+) is more efficiently accelerated than H(+) at the higher K(p) values.
