Scientific paper

The heating of thermal electrons by electromagnetic ion-cyclotron waves generated in the interaction between the plasmasphere and the ring current is examined in the quasi-linear approximation. A quantitative assessment is made of the electron-temperature anisotropy which results under these conditions in the topside plasmasphere. The efficiencies of different anisotropization sources are compared. It is shown that a heat flux flowing from the plasmasphere produces a significant electron-temperature anisotropy in the subauroral ionosphere.
