TLDR
Magnetic activity effect on magnetospheric plasmapause position, measuring ion concentrations as function of local time from OGO 5 observations as mentioned in this paper, was used to measure ion concentrations in the magnetosphere.Abstract:

An ISEE/Whistler model of equatorial electron density in the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical model of equatorial electron density in the magnetosphere covering the L range 2.25-8.9043 was presented for application to the local time interval 00-15 MLT, and a way to extend the model to the 15-24 MLT period is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pitch-angle diffusion of radiation belt electrons within the plasmasphere.
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of the quiet-time electron slot, which divides the radiation belt electrons into an inner and an outer zone, was investigated. But the results were limited to the inner radiation zone.

Equilibrium structure of radiation belt electrons
Larry R. Lyons,Richard M. Thorne +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the detailed quiet time structure of energetic electrons in the earth's radiation belts is explained on the basis of a balance between pitch angle scattering loss and inward radial diffusion from an average outer zone source.

Turbulent loss of ring-current protons.
TL;DR: Ring current protons turbulent diffusion in magnetospheric plasmapause, considering ion cyclotron wave lifetime and geomagnetic storms was studied in this article, where the authors considered the effect of magnetic storms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relativistic electron precipitation during magnetic storm main phase
TL;DR: Relativistic electron precipitation during magnetic storms, showing cyclotron resonances with electromagnetic ion Cyclotron waves as mentioned in this paper, was used to detect magnetic storms in magnetic fields.

A survey of low-energy electrons in the evening sector of the magnetosphere with OGO 1 and OGO 3.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the low-energy electron population in the magnetosphere within the local time range ∼17 to ∼22 hours using the OGO 1 satellite and OGO 3.

Whistler studies of the plasmapause in the magnetosphere: 1. Temporal variations in the position of the knee and some evidence on plasma motions near the knee
TL;DR: The position of the knee in the density of magnetospheric ionization was measured on a high time-resolution basis using whistlers recorded during July and part of August 1963 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of plasmapause, or magnetospheric plasma knee, by the combined action of magnetospheric convection and plasma escape from the tail
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic lines of force in the magnetosphere are separated into two groups: those that travel across the tail during the convective motion and those that are never transported to the tail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bulk motion of the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, an upper atmosphere geophysical measurements are surveyed to determine to what extent the available data support the concept of bulk motion of the magnetosphere (convection) and the associated electric field.

The magnetospheric plasmapause and the electron density trough at the Alouette I orbit
Michael J. Rycroft,J.O. Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the location of the magnetospheric plasmapause and the position of the electron density minimum or "trough" at the orbit of the Alouette I satellite near 1000 km have been derived from whistler data and from topside ionograms respectively.
