2730 Magnetosphere: Inner, 2768 Plasmasphere
Scientific paper
The IMAGE/Extreme Ultraviolet imager (EUV) has shown that plasmaspheric plumes are relatively common and are an important part of the plasmaspheric erosion process. Through these plumes dense thermal plasma is transported out of the inner magnetosphere towards the dayside magnetopause. The eventual fate of this thermal plasma is still a subject of debate. This material may be convected into the polar cusp, over the polar cap, or convected into the low latitude boundary layer. When the IMAGE orbit apogee (~8 Re) was in the dayside magnetosphere, the Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) observations show evidence of electron-density enhancements which we associate with EUV observations of plasmaspheric plumes. RPI resonance soundings have provided accurate estimates of electron density in this region. These RPI observations extend the time history of thermal plasma transport after plasmaspheric erosion events by tracking this material beyond the field of view of the EUV instrument and to densities below its sensitivity threshold.
