摘要

<正>The plasmasphere is a region of relatively dense(10–10000 cm–3)plasma,surrounding the Earth and extending to distances of about five Earth radii(RE).It is filled with large amount of cold(1 e V)plasma originated from the Earth’s ionosphere and co-rotating with the Earth due to the large scale co-rotation electric field.The outermost
