Scientific paper

Field-aligned velocities of thermal O(+) ions up to several hundred m/s were observed from the Aureole-3 satellite in the subauroral upper ionosphere. Downward fluxes were observed after local sunset in the F region, while upward fluxes were observed just after local sunrise due to electron temperature variations. Calculations with the nonstationary hydrodynamic model of the polar wind show similar flows, but with smaller average velocities.
