Fig. 6

Relations between the mapped Alfvén Poynting flux (0.125–0.5 Hz) and the mapped outflowing ion number flux in the SZA ranges of a 45°–85°, b 65°–105°, c 85°–125°, d 105°–145°, and e 45°–145° (all events), and f comparisons among the derived empirical relations in the SZA ranges and the empirical formula derived by Brambles et al. (2011) (multiplied by a factor of 2.9 here to correct for the altitudinal difference of the ion number flux and the Alfvén Poynting flux) (dotted gray line). The format is identical to that of Fig. 5
