Scientific paper

Satellite and ground-based VLF recordings were made at SANAE, Antarctica from 1976 to 1979. In this paper ground and satellite observations are combined to determine temperatures in the plasmasphere. Scale heights in the plasmasphere are determined at high altitudes using a diffusive equilibrium model and measurements of equatorial electron densities and densities at about 3000 km. The temperatures corresponding to these scale heights show a gradual increase with increasing L-value and sharp increases of about 2000 K just inside the plasmapause.
