Electric fields in the Earth's magnetosphere. [Ring current, hot plasma]

OSTI ID:7356616
Stationary convection generated by an external electric field in the earth's magnetosphere is analyzed. It is noted that this field probably appears as a result of the reconnection of magnetic lines of force. The hot plasma of the ring current where the proton temperature is much higher than the electron temperature is investigated. (JFP)
