Scientific paper

The IMAGE spacecraft has obtained global images of the plasmasphere and ring current during several magnetic storms. During these periods certain features appear repeatedly along the plasmapause. These features include shoulders, tails, fingers, and other structures involving local time gradients of cold plasma densities. As the ring current builds up, it crosses these gradients, providing opportunities, particularly in the post-noon sector, for the study of hot-cold plasma interactions. Certain long-standing theories can be tested with the IMAGE data, which have shown, for example, decreases of the energetic neutral atom signature from the ring current that correspond to increases in the cold plasma density. In this paper, several examples of such correlations are presented in light of the theoretical predictions.
