Scientific paper

The magnetosphere contains a substantial and variable O(+) component. The present investigation is concerned with the ionospheric source of O(+), taking into account transversely-accelerated ion (TAI) events. Attention is given to transverse ion heating in the topside ionosphere, the variations of the transverse acceleration mechanisms, a review of relevant theories and laboratory experiments, and the probability of an ionospheric O(+) ion escaping into the magnetosphere after it has been accelerated. The conclusions from these studies are combined to obtain maximum estimates of O(+) escape.
