Scientific paper

The inner magnetosphere portion of geospace is the home of the plasmasphere, ring current, plasma sheet, radiation belts, and ionosphere. These plasma populations participate in a complex, coupled, group response to the ever-changing geomagnetic conditions. The past few years have seen the rise of routine global imaging of the inner magnetosphere through utilization of ultraviolet, neutral atom, and radar-based remote sensing techniques realized for the IMAGE mission. At the same time, we continue to have excellent multiple sources of in situ observations (e.g., DMSP, Polar, LANL, Cluster) and ground-based remote-sensing capabilities (e.g., radar, magnetometer, and TEC). The remote-sensing data provide a means of tying all the available in situ observations into a coherent picture of the global coupled response of the inner magnetosphere, if proper visualization techniques are developed. Visualization tools to represent plasma flows, electric fields, fluxes, and densities exist, but they need to be used together in new ways. I will present several visualization tools that have proved fruitful in the study of the inner magnetosphere, including overlay of in situ data onto images, extraction of profiles from images, magnetic mapping of images and/or ground-based observations, and multi-instrument composite images.
