[b]Solar Wind blows some of Earth's atmosphere into space[/b]

" the sun belched forth a CME, a roiling bubble of plasma (electrified gases) that sailed along with the [b]solar wind on a collision course with Earth[/b]. TIDE's plasma gun already had been scheduled to be operating, and Polar's orbital position was above the northern hemisphere, when the CME arrived.
"The amount of upwelling ions is a function of solar wind pressure or activity," Spann said.
So when the CME hit, it squeezed Earth's magnetic field, squirting particles stored in the magnetotail up the field lines towards the Earth's poles.
Left: The polar[b] auroral fountain sprays ions[/b] - oxygen, helium, and hydrogen - from Earth's upper ionosphere into deep space. The loss is miniscule compared to the immense ocean of air covering our world, but is significant in terms of what drives space weather around our world. (NASA)"

Original Message Steady (almost 3 days now) very high Solar pressure on Magnetosphere, with little magnetic field protection.

Space WeatherMission Nears Launch
-- Imagine tuning in to the local TV weather report and hearing this from the weatherman:

"Good evening space weather lovers! Last night Earth was hit by a high-pressure solar wind stream. It's expected to persist for 3 or 4 more days producing a 50% chance of mid-latitude aurora. If you were hoping to use your cell phone today -- forget it!"

One day, space weather forecasts like this could be commonplace. As our society comes to rely on satellites, cell phones, and other space-age gadgets, forecasting solar and geomagnetic storms can be just as important as knowing the chances of rain tomorrow. Unfortunately for technophiles, space weather forecasting is about 40 or 50 years behind everyday weather predictions.
