Scientific paper

The orbit and payload of the AMPTE (active magnetospheric particle tracer explorer) Charge Composition Explorer (CCE) satellite, which provide an exellent opportunity for observing the geomagnetically trapped particle population in general and the earth's ring current in particular, are described. A global view of the September 4, 1984 geomagnetic storm is presented and the initial findings of the CCE investigators on the earth's ring current are given. It is shown that the CCE ring-current results pertain to an unusual asymmetric ring current and may not be applicable to a more typical ring-current development and decay.
