An algorithm is presented for calculating heat fluxes and local heating sources in the magnetosphere due to the dissipation of ring-current energy as the ring interacts with the topside plasmasphere. A simple example shows that the heating occurs far from the geomagnetic equator and is more efficient when the R-mode is excited. Calculations indicate that the heat fluxes can reach a value of 3 x 10 to the 11th eV/s sq cm, which can lead to a significant increase in the temperature of the topside plasmasphere (8500 K) and intense SAR arcs (10 kR).
