Previously hidden low-energy ions: a better map of near-Earth space and the terrestrial mass balance

André, Mats

This is a review of the mass balance of planet Earth, intended also for scientists not usually working with space physics or geophysics. The discussion includes both outflow of ions and neutrals from the ionosphere and upper atmosphere, and the inflow of meteoroids and larger objects. The focus is on ions with energies less than tens of eV origina…
