The radial plasma density profile at the equatorial plasmapause is determined with terrestrial myriametric radiation (TMR) data from GEOS 1 by means of a method which uses the properties of a radio window through which the radiation propagates. The remotely-sensed radial density profile is compared with that inferred from natural electrostatic emissions as the spacecraft approaches the equatorial source region. While the TMR profile appears to be that of the cold plasma, non-equatorial emission features beyond the plasmapause are governed by hot and cold components, which ray-tracing and polarization computations show may lead to erroneous source directions as a result of simplistic, spinning-dipole technique interpretation of direction-finding measurements. Corrections can be applied to yield true direction in such cases if the spacecraft orientation is known.
