Scientific paper

Mass composition data acquired during the storm period of February 21 and 22, 1979 are presented and analyzed. Near-geosynchronous data from the SCATHA spacecraft are described, giving the data in spectrogram format. Low-altitude data from the S3-3 spacecraft are presented, and it is shown that they raise questions concerning the evolution of the low-altitude, 0.5-16 keV/q plasma population after the main phase of magnetic storms. The importance of convection as an explanation of the signatures found in the low-altitude S3-3 data is considered. Some work concerning steady state convection models is summarized, pointing out those aspects of the theory relevant to the S3-3 data. Results from the theory are applied to those data, which are also displayed in spectrogram format. The results are discussed, using the geosynchronous composition data as a monitor of the source of the injected plasma.
