Scientific paper

The ISEE 1 satellite trajectory often passed through the magnetospheric region during the time from November 1977 to April 1978. On every occasion, the medium energy particles instrument (MEPI) of the satellite recorded an intense ion population in a region corresponding to low equatorial altitudes. An intensity peak was observed in the lowest MEPI energy channel. A comparison of high bit rate MEPI data with simultaneous data from the LEPEDEA plasma instrument on Nov. 29, 1977 1930-2000 UT shows additional peaks in the ion population existing in the L of 2 to at least 4. In the present report, data characterizing these ion populations are presented, and implications are discussed in terms of source and loss mechanisms.
