Description
Summary:Plasma observations at low altitudes were made on board the subsatellite MAGION-3 ( APEX mission) in the midnight sector, during the magnetic storm (Dst<-100 nT) of 8 June 1992. They revealed a complex field aligned current system with decreasing current density during early hours of the recovery phase. ionospheric electron temperature and density enhancements, electromagnetic oscillations in the 1–3 MHz range, and precipitation/injection of high-energy electrons and ions (30–150 keV) down to very low L shells were also found. The paper presents in situ data which can contribute to qualitative and quantitative assessments of these events.
