Global estimates of plasmaspheric losses during moderate disturbance intervals

For a set of five moderate disturbance events, we calculate the total number of He<sup>+</sup> ions removed the plasmasphere using calibrated global EUV images. In each of the events, between ~0.6 and 2.2&times;10<sup>30</sup> He<sup>+</sup> ions are remove...
