Scientific paper

The mutual impedance experiment provides an original diagnostic of the thermal electron population. The electron density and temperature are derived from the plasma frequency and Debye length, the values of which determine the frequency-dependent mutual impedance curves. The principal outcome of the experiment is that good results can be obtained at the dayside of the equatorial plane. The density behavior versus altitude, local time, and magnetic activity is consistent with features reported earlier. Furthermore, the temperature measurements provide new material for geophysical studies. It appears that the cold part of the plasma outside the plasmasphere is properly revealed and that joint analysis of the electron density and temperature will carry by to the improvement of existing models of plasmasphere dynamics.
