Observations of O(2+) by ISEE 1 have revealed occasional O(2+)/O(+) density ratios of the order of unity within the plasmasphere. However, most plasmaspheric O(2+)/O(+) density ratios are generally below 0.3. These ratios agree generally with those seen by GEOS 1. Within the plasmasphere the O(2+) population appears to be primarily cold and isotropic (as is typical for major ions). Outside the plasmasphere, O(2+)/O(+) field-aligned flux ratios may be of the order of 0.1-0.2, though they are frequently much smaller, and the O(2+) distributions are typically field aligned. A rare observation of a unidirectional conic in O(2+) is also reported.
