Scientific paper

The Charge-Energy-Mass (CHEM) Spectrometer instrument on the AMPTE/Charge Composition Explorer (CCE) spacecraft was designed to measure the mass and charge-state abundances of magnetospheric and magnetosheath ions between 1 and 310 keV/e, an energy range that includes the bulk of the ring current and the dynamically important portion of the plasma sheet population. Results are presented on (1) the ring current, covering the quiet terrestrial ring current, convection and electric fields, large geomagnetic storms, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) quantities of the quiescent ring current, the relation of ring current composition and energy spectra to stable auroral red (SAR) arc intensity, helium average densities, formation and decay, energy content and asymmetry, electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves and plasma parameters, ion cyclotron waves and ion anisotropies, and ULF pulsations and plasma parameters; (2) plasma sheet and near-earth magnetotail, covering variation of plasma sheet ion composition, radial pressure gradients, pressure changes in the plasma sheet during substorm injections, and origin, transport, and loss of energetic He(+) and He(2+); (3) sheath, boundary layer, and mixed regions; (4) the magnetopause and magnetosheath, covering magnetosheath flow in the subsolar magnetosheath, magnetopause current layer observations, sheath and leakage, dusk side leakage and Birkeland currents, energetic magnetospheric protons in the plasma depletion layer, and ion beam in the magnetosheath; and (5) solar wind and bow shock acceleration.
