Scientific paper

Because of the revelance to microscopic description of the E region of the auroral latitudes we study polynomial series expansion with emphasis given to precisely modeling the character of the non-Maxwellian velocity distribution. Tri-Maxwellian expansion at the level of the 20-moment approximation is a good solution for the lower part of the E region. The upper part is better modeled by a generalized polynomial series expansion. Under the influence of moderate convection electric fields the ion population can reach very distorted steady state with respect to a Maxwellian shape.
