A self-consistent model was used to account for the effect of electron heating (EH) on longitudinal velocities of O(+) ions in high-latitude geomagnetic flux tubes. An analysis of the height-time dependences of ion velocity and concentration shows that EH can lead to the transport of large fluxes of O(+) ions from the ionosphere to the magnetosphere. At a height of 10,000 km, the O(+) flux in the polar wind reaches a value of 2.2 x 10 to the 6th/sq cm s.
