The upper atmospheric fountain effect in the polar cusp region
This thesis examines how the cusp as a feature of the Earth Magnetic Field influences the (neutral) upper atmospheric dynamics. The thermospheric total mass density, as derived from CHAMP satellite data, shows a distinct enhancement in the vicinity of the cusp, the so-called density anomaly. In a cl...
