The role of magnetospheric convection in the formation of the anisotropic energy distribution of the thermal plasma in the plasmasphere is examined theoretically for the example of temperature anisotropy along drift trajectories in the geomagnetic-equator plane. It is shown that adiabatic effects caused by magnetospheric convection play a significant role in the anisotropization of the ion component of the thermal plasma. The particle density distribution along the convective trajectories has a determining effect on the behavior of temperature anisotropy, which can reach high values in the upper ionosphere (L not less than about 3).
