A new planet-wide electric field that is as fundamental to Earth as gravity has been discovered in a major scientific breakthrough. The AMBIPOLSR ELECTRIC FIELD, which begins 150 miles above the planet, has been described as a “great invisible force” that lifts up the sky and is responsible for the polar winds. The polar winds interact with the jet streams to help drive the majority of weather patterns across the globe. Until now, the field had only been theorised, but a Nasa team, which includes scientists from the University of Leicester, has now sent a rocket into the field and measured it for the first time. It means Earth now has three energy fields: gravity; the magnetic field, which shields the planet from cosmic radiation; and the ambipolar electric field.

A space hurricane over the Earth’s polar ionosphere | Nature Communications publish date: Feb 2021 The polar regions are far more active than was thought in the past,
and Only in the interest of accuracy, a minor nit picking correction: The ambipolar field is not new. It has been around long before its recent discovery.
The fact that everyone thinks this is something new just shows how few people know anything about electronics these days. Where there is a magnetic field there is an electric field and vice versa.
Does all that SPACE JUNK, left over rocket parts, old dead satellites, and the ISS, effect the magnetic field? Does Van Allen need a bigger belt!
