Scientific paper

A three-dimensional time-dependent model of the thermal-plasma distribution in the inner magnetosphere in the LT nighttime sector is proposed which is based on the representation of the diffuse-precipitation boundary (DPB) as the boundary of large-scale magnetospheric convection, i.e, as an instantaneous plasmapause. Model calculations are compared with experimental profiles of thermal-plasma electron density in the plasmasphere, and it is shown that, in most cases, satisfactory agreement is obtained with respect to the prediction of the L-shell of significant electron-density differences inside the plasmasphere and at its boundary. Hence, these results tend to confirm the hypothesis that the DPB (and thus the plasmapause) is an Alfven layer.
