Abstract: | After some introductory discussions about morphological concepts and limitations of various measurement techniques, existing
low energy plasma data, orginating primarily from the GEOS, Dynamics Explorer, and Prognoz spacecraft, is described and discussed.
The plasmasphere measurements are not included (but for some observations of plasmasphere refilling). It is finally concluded
that we are very far from a complete picture of the low-energy plasma component in the magnetosphere and that this problem
has to be given high priority in planning payloads of future space plasma physics missions. |
