Earth's ambipolar electric field
text:
Earth's ambipolar electric field is a key element of a theory about an electric field which surrounds the planet and, by the process of ambipolar diffusion, inflates the ionosphere and generates the polar wind. The field was measured in 2022 by a sounding rocket launched from Svalbard. This NASA mission was called Endurance. The potential drop from 250 to 768 kilometres of altitude was found to be +0.55 volt with an uncertainty of 0.09 volt.
