Scientific paper

The locations of Explorer 45 plasmapause crossings are studied as a likely indicator of ionospheric and magnetospheric trough locations. Attention is given to vertical flows of H(+) ions in the light ion trough, as detected by the magnetic ion mass spectrometer aboard Isis 2 (which was operating in conjunction with Explorer 45 during August 1972). The possibility of an equatorial plasmapause is discussed, whose field lines map into the ionosphere at latitudes poleward of the H(+) density decrease, probably due to the refilling of magnetic flux tubes in the outer plasmasphere.
