Scientific paper

The energy dependence of a fraction of ring current protons of ionospheric origin is calculated using the AMPTE/CCE data for a typical strong magnetic storm (max| D st | ≈ 120 nT). It is shown that this fraction monotonically decreases from ˜ 83 to 25 30% with an increase in proton energy from 5 to 315 keV at L = 6 7 ( L is the McIlwain parameter) and is 30 40% at energy 40 50 keV corresponding to the maximum of proton energy density at L = 6 7. It is demonstrated that the core of the ring current ( L = 3.7 4.7) was enriched by solar protons with E ≈ 10 200 keV during the active phase of the storm (the maximum effect is reached at E ≈ 20 50 keV).
