During the March 31, 2001 event the solar pressure was more than 40 times greater than its normal with sustained southward interplanetary magnetic field, conditions for a major magnetic storm. The Kp index went up to near 9. During the event, the IMAGE orbit was near the noon-midnight meridian monitoring the magnetospheric responses at local noon and midnight. The Radio Plasma Imager on IMAGE conducted echo radio sounding experiments that measured the plasma density distribution along the magnetic field. Observations show that the total content of the plasma changed dramatically during the event. The dayside density dropped significantly during the storm and we also observed the refilling process after the storm. There is evidence for an increased density on the nightside during the event, which may be the result of the higher solar wind density. Quantitative assessment of the density variations during the event and the refilling process afterward will be presented.
