Scientific paper

Average results deduced from Isis 2 topside sounder data show that the cusp-related electron density enhancements in the F region maximize at about 77.5 deg corrected geomagnetic latitude in midwinter near local noon during very quiet magnetospheric conditions. The magnitude of the enhancements determined at nine topside heights range from a factor of 2 at h-max to 16 at 1400 km. Enhancements as large as these require in situ production at the peak and above, coupled with upward expansion due to the higher plasma temperatures found beneath the cusp.
