Plasma entry into the earth's magnetosphere.

Several recent observation and measurement results concerning plasma entry into the earth's magnetosphere are discussed in terms of only one magnetospheric model believed currently to provide a relatively self-consistent description for both high- and low-altitude surveys. Some of the criticisms the presented overall picture of the magnetosphere elicits in the light of present observational knowledge are examined, and major uncertainties are reviewed.

Local-time survey of plasma at low altitudes over the auroral zones

A local-time survey of the low energy proton and electron intensities precipitated into the earth's atmosphere during periods of magnetic quiescence was constructed. A typical, individual satellite crossing of this region in each of eight local-time sectors was selected from a library of similar observations with the polar-orbiting satellite Injun 5. The trapping boundary for more energetic electron intensities, E 45 keV, is a natural coordinate for delineating the boundary between the two major types of lower energy, 50 or = E or = 15,000 eV. The main contributors to electron energy influx are inverted V precipitation poleward of the trapping boundary and the plasma sheet intensities equatorward. These are interpreted in terms of a magnetospheric model.
