Example of the O⁺ density, drift and temperature for time 21:45 using Wind B. The selected time is when the third crustal field region is within the simulations domain as indicated by the contour lines in the first panel of the total magnetic field. The color scale represent in the three panels density (log-scale), drift speed (linear-scale), and temperature (linear-scale, white area saturated). The drift and temperature numbers at high altitudes have large error bars due to low counting statistics.
