Thermal plasma parameters are derived by the mutual impedance experiment on GEOS. The investigation covers the plasmasphere, an intermediate region of ionospheric refilling, and the plasma trough. The intermediate region is always present in the day sector where the ionospheric source plays a leading part, and where the plasma parameters exhibit electron densities of 2 to 20 cu cm and average electron temperatures of 20,000 K, dispersed over a 5,000 to 100,000 K range during disturbances. The region of depleted density is observed at higher L values in the night and morning MLT sectors, where plasmas out of Maxwellian equilibrium are seen under disturbed conditions.
