AB: The results of a survey of the characteristics of the low energy plasma flowing along the field lines in the low latitude lobes of the magnetosphere, the lobal wind, are presented. Data from the TIDE instrument on the Polar satellite are used to derive the characteristics (density, temperature, and flow speed) of the lobal wind. The behavior of these characteristics with changes in the ambient magnetic field, solar wind, and other parameters representing controlling factors are examined.
