Scientific paper

The composition of the earth's ring current was reviewed at the Chapman Conference on 'Magnetospheric Substorms and Related Plasma Processes', held Oct. 9-13, 1978 (Akasofu, 1980; Williams, 1980). It was found that the composition of the bulk of the ring current energy distribution had not been measured, and that several source mechanisms were possible. That review is updated, and recent results from Prognoz, GEOS, and ISEE instruments are presented. Composition data and results concerning the general behavior of storm time energetic particles are shown. It is found that the ring current energy density composition still has not been observed, and that the recent equatorial low energy composition results add to the particle type (charge state) and source possibilities.
