Scientific paper

The paper examines the use of optical, radio-wave, and extreme UV imaging to study the distribution of magnetospheric plasma continuously and thereby study magnetospheric global dynamics. Optical imaging of the terrestrial exosphere at FUV and EUV wavelengths is discussed in the light of evidence from recent observational campaigns. Radio imaging of the earth's magnetosphere is shown to provide good instantaneous images of the plasma from beyond 4 earth radii. Optical imaging is examined with respect to the study of other planetary exospheres, and the technique is shown to depend on the ability to do normal incidence optics in the EUV. The Cassini radio-uplink experiment is examined as an example of radio-wave tomography which can provide geometry-based tomographic montages to image the heliosphere and the planetary magnetospheres.
