New plasmapause model derived from CHAMP field-aligned current signatures

We introduce a new model for the plasmapause location in the equatorial plane. The determination of the <I>L</I>-shell bounding the plasmasphere is based on magnetic field observations made by the CHAMP satellite in the topside ionosphere. Related signals are medium-scale field-aligne...
