Scientific paper

An ideal yet plausible mathematical model is developed for the local formation of the nightside equatorial plasmapause. It is assumed that the plasmapause is an electrostatic laminar shock with a plane boundary. The model is based on the idea that the thermal plasma inside the plasmapause is of terrestrial origin, while the plasma beyond the plasmapause is essentially of solar wind origin. An approximate description of the model is presented in terms of a combined form of the Korteweg-de Vries (1895) and Burgers (1940) equation.
