Scientific paper

Plasmaspheric density profiles and their cold plasma boundaries observed by the retarding ion mass spectrometer aboard the DE-1 satellite were classified using the results of a statistical study. Six different categories of the plasmasphere density profiles were identified: 'featureless', featureless with enhancement near left, multiple-plateau, featureless with trough, multiple-plateau with trough, and other complex structure profiles. An explanation for the occurrence of these different profiles is presented.
