| 内容記述 | The quiet time magnetosphere is studied using ion measurements covering energies from about 1 keV to about 4 MeV from selected passes of the Charge Composition Explorer during low geomagnetic activity. The quiet time plasma pressure in the midnight sector was found to be comparable to that deduced by Spence et al. (1989) and Kan et al. (1992) from inverting the magnetic field models of Tsyganenko and Usmanov (1982) and Tsyganenko (1987). The radial profile of the total plasma pressure exhibited a peak at L = 3-4 and decreased monotonically from L = 4 and L = 9. Contrary to theoretical expectations for the magnetospheric closure of the region 2 field-aligned current system, no large-scale earthward decrease in plasma pressure was found to occur in these outer L shells. |
