Measuring Low Plasma Density in the Earth's Equatorial Magnetosphere From Magnetosonic Waves

Abstract The plasma density is one of the most fundamental quantities of any plasma yet measuring it in space is exceptionally difficult when the density is low. Measurements from particle detectors are contaminated by spacecraft photoelectrons and methods using plasma wave emissions are hampered by...
