Scientific paper

Density measurements made by OGO-5 during the period from March 1968 to May 1969 were used to locate enhanced light ion abundances in the midst of ion-depleted regions in the plasmasphere. Such abundances were found to be more frequent on the night side. As a possible mechanism for the observed light ion distribution, convection electric fields and subsequent thinning and corotation of plasma tails are considered. Attention is given to wave-particle interactions, especially as influenced by a magnetic field (both during plasmaspheric magnetic storms, and magnetospheric substorms).
