Polar observations of electron density distribution in the Earth’s magnetosphere. 1. Statistical results

Forty-five months of continuous spacecraft potential measurements from the Polar satellite are used to study the average electron density in the magnetosphere and its dependence on geomagnetic activity and season. These measurements offer a straightforward, passive method for monitoring the...
