Scientific paper

It is shown that the field-aligned current j-parallel greater than approximately 1 A/sq km which flows upward from the ionosphere is transported not by electrons but by cold magnetospheric ions. This leads to a reduction of the plasma content in the magnetic flux tube. A time of approximately 2 hours is required for the complete evacuation of the flux tube for the specified current density.
