MISSION STATEMENT:
“Electric fields drive the ionosphere which, in turn, are predicted to set up enhanced neutral winds
within an aurora arc. This experiment will seek to understand the height dependent coupling processes
that create localized neutral ‘jets’ within the aurora and their associated heating and neutral structuring.”
