The solar wind and the ionosphere are the two particle sources for the Earth's magnetosphere. In the near-Earth magnetosphere, observations have shown that ions upflowing from the ionosphere, mainly H + , He + , and O + ions, can form cold (<∼10 eV) ions inside the plasmapause and warm (∼10-1,000 eV) field-aligned ions outside the plasmapause (e.g., Chappell et al., 2008). These two ion populations of the ionospheric source are distinguished from the hot (from ∼1 keV to 10's keV) isotropic plasma sheet ions and energetic (>∼20 keV) ring current ions that are a mixture of the solar wind and ionosphere sources. Their differences in the energy ranges and pitch-angle distribution types are a result of different transport, energization, and pitch-angle scattering processes.
