Scientific paper

Various regimes of ionospheric-plasma flow into the magnetosphere at high latitudes is studied on the basis of a one-dimensional nonstationary system of nonlinear gasdynamic equations. It is shown that dilution of geomagnetic flux tubes leads, as a result of low pressure at heights of about 1000 km, to supersonic flow of plasma into the magnetosphere; in addition, the concentrations of hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms at heights above the maximum of F2-layer concentration decreases appreciably.
