Abstract

The observations of hot ions in the high altitude ionosphere, at ∼IR e along the auroral zone magnetic field lines, near the equatorial plane in the inner magnetosphere, in the distant tail, and in the magnetospheric boundary regions are reviewed with particular regard to the relations of the ions to the electrons. The physical knowledge obtained from the observations is summarized.
