Discovery of a weak global electric field in the ionosphere that drives the polar wind and influences the structure of the ionosphere. The field extends into the magnetosphere and could also exist on other planets. The rocket mission 'Endurance' measured a potential difference of 0.55 volts, an increase in the ionospheric height by 271%, and a 3800% higher plasma density at the boundary of the magnetosphere. The field generates a buoyancy effect by attracting the electrons.

NASA Discovers Earth's Third Energy Field - Cause of Polar Wind
The Earth has a third energy field in addition to the magnetic field and the gravitational field: the ambipolar electric field. This influences the boundary between the Earth and space and drives the polar wind. Scientists from NASA have proven the existence of this field using a rocket launch from Svalbard.

NASA Discovers Earth's Surrounding Electric Field
NASA has discovered a weak electric field surrounding the Earth. This field was detected using data from the Endurance rocket. Researchers used measurements from a rocket launched from Svalbard Island to characterize a bipolar electric field created by high-speed particles. This field also affects the Earth's ionosphere layer.
