The local-time variation of the quiet plasmasphere: geosynchronous observations and kinetic theory
The quiet-time structure of the plasmaspheric density was investigated using observations of the Los Alamos geosynchronous satellites, and these observations were compared with theoretical predictions of the quasi-static local-time variation by a kinetic model. It was found that the coupling...
