The AMPTE/CCE (active magnetospheric particle tracer explorer/charge composition explorer) magnetic-field observations acquired during the September 4, 1984 geomagnetic storm are described. The observations are used to determine magnetospheric regions and boundaries and are also used as the primary index of the development, evolution, and distribution of the ring current. The results of an analysis of the observations are presented. It is shown that a magnetic compression observed inside the magnetosphere by CCE and outside by ISEE-2 is interpreted as a sudden impulse. From an estimation of magnetopause normals at each crossing, it is concluded that the magnetic variations that occur are due to a contraction and expansion of the entire magnetosphere. Local magnetic-field depressions are observed during two inbound dusk passes, confirming that the ring current never developed in the dawn sector.
