The Polar spacecraft, launched in February 1996, has crossed the plasmapause more than 6000 times so that a large number of plasmapause measurements are available at all local time sectors, at low (~1RE) and high (/~2-4RE) altitudes, and during various magnetic conditions. Using sequential plasmapause crossings, we have studied the evolution of the plasmapause position in a few specific local time sectors. Near the dawn-dusk meridian, the duskside plasmapause is approximately 1-/3L shell farther from the Earth than the dawnside plasmapause, but the evolution of the plasmapause position is quite similar and simultaneous at both sides. Near the noon-midnight meridian, the plasmapause is located approximately at the same distance on both sides of the Earth, and the evolution is again similar and synchronous with no clear time delay at both sides. After an SSC, the noonside plasmapause is found to propagate earthward about one /L shell in 5h.
