Scientific paper

The quiet-time depression of the magnetic field magnitude in the equatorial inner magnetosphere was studied for the interval Nov. 1971-June 1972. For periods when Kp was less than 2 and Dst was between +10 and -20 gamma, an inflated field region near the magnetic equator was found between noon and midnight. The inflation was greatest at the lowest altitude studied (L = 3) and appeared to be somewhat greater near midnight (-40 gamma) than near noon (-20 gamma). Protons of energy above 100 keV observed on the same satellite appeared to be sufficient to produce the quiet-time inflation.
