Scientific paper

The vertical bulk-ion-drift data between 200 and 1000 km, obtained by DE 2 satellite were used to examine ion flows in the high-latitude F region. The data indicated that field-aligned ion flows between 100 m/s and 3 km/s are a common occurrence in the F region. The ion flows were predominantly upward near the cusp region and throughout the auroral zone, with occasionally observed downward flows of smaller magnitude over the polar cap. The results on bulk-ion flows in F region are compared with the published characteristics of the magnetospheric ion outflow, and the possibility that the two flows are physically linked is discussed.
