Scientific paper

The effect of temperature anisotropy on the early-stage refilling of the outer plasmasphere is investigated by solving an appropriate set of hydrodynamic plasma equations. In this model, the equatorial ion heating affected by wave-particle interactions is included phenomenologically. The results show that equatorial ion heating producing a strong pitch angle anisotropy, with the perpendicular ion temperature much greater than the parallel ion temperature, can stop the interhemispheric ion exchange.
