Scientific paper

The dynamical behavior of the plasmapause is studied using whistlers recorded at Siple, Antarctica during June 17-22, 1973. The magnetic activity during this period remained fairly disturbed until June 21, causing the plasmapause to contract to less than 3 earth radii. Sudden quieting on June 22 caused the plasmasphere to develop complex outlying structures with the high density region extending out to about 6 earth radii. The plasmapause data show a repeated diurnal pattern of a relatively slow decrease in equatorial radius by 0.5-1 earth radii during the night and a more rapid increase by about the same amount near dusk when the plasmasphere bulge is encountered.
