Scientific paper

An extensive set of plasmaspheric measurements by the DE 1 satellite and ionospheric measurements by the DE 2 satellite are presented. The developments in the ionosphere and plasmasphere during the recovery phase of a magnetospheric storm are described. Isolated profile comparisons are used to indicate some of the structural relations and complexities involving the ionosphere and plasmasphere latitudinal profiles. A transition in the ionospheric electron temperature Te from a relatively smooth profile of low Te at the base of the inner plasmasphere to enhanced and highly structured Te at higher invariant latitudes occurs near or along a plasmaspheric density gradient. Plasmaspheric enhancements of the heavy ions O(+) and O(2+) are often closely aligned with distinct ionospheric Te enhancements.
