| Abstract: | The hot intercloud medium (ICM) streams away from the Galactic disk into the fountain. It is generally agreed that a flow consisting of thermal gas only reaches a maximum height of a few (3 to 5) kpc. The dynamics is more complicated if cosmic rays are also present. In that case it is possible for some of the gas to be ejected from the Galaxy altogether. |
