The three-dimensional Raman's distributions as a model for fitting non-Maxwellian distributions, and the consequences for the hydrodynamic mirror force due to coupling between pressure anisotropy and the inhomogeneous geomagnetic field are revisited. It is demonstrated that the three-dimensional Raman's model is unable to quantitatively predict the Post-Rosenbluth or ion cyclotron instability threshold. The application of this model to deduce ion temperature anisotropy from only one radar spectra measurement is shown to be restricted to specific aspect angles and small electric field intensities. The hydrodynamic upwelling force is shown to be greatly affected by the ion-neutral interaction process. This additional force represents an important amount of the gravity in the presence of large electric fields.
