Scientific paper

The radio plasma imager (RPI) on the IMAGE satellite uses the radio sounding technique to measure both the insitu and remote electron densities in the magnetosphere. Insitu, or local, electron densities are derived from the local plasma resonances stimulated by RPI transmitted signals while the remote densities are obtained from the observed R-X mode echo traces using an inversion technique. Analysis of RPI observations before, during and after a geomagnetic storm shows a greatly enhanced electron density during the main phase over the polar cap at radial distances up to 5.3 RE, invariant latitude above 80° and magnetic local time between 2000 and midnight. In this report a case study will be presented and qualitative and quantitative assessment of the magnitude of electron density enhancement will be discussed.
