Title/Introduction: Ion upwelling Pumping the ionosphere with high-power radiowaves causes electron heating and artificial ion upwelling, presumably through the ambipolar electric field. However, other forces are also acting, including the neutral wind. The relative balance between the various forces is to be studied.
