The Role of Mesoscale Plasma Sheet Dynamics in Ring Current Formation

The Role of Mesoscale Plasma Sheet Dynamics in Ring Current Formation

During geomagnetically active periods ions are transported from the magnetotail into the inner magnetosphere and accelerated to energies of tens to hundreds of keV. These energetic ions, of mixed composition with the most important species being H+ and O+, become the dominant source of plasma pressu...
