Title: Dynamic Structure of the Inner Magnetosphere
Abstract: During intervals of pronounced geomagnetic activity, called magnetic storm, the low-latitude magnetic field becomes depressed at all local times, indicating the formation of a current circuit that encircles the earth. Since the depression is too great to be attributed to an expansion of the magnetosphere, the ring current is thought to develop within the magnetosphere, and the search for the carrier of such a current led to the prediction of the presence of particles trapped in the geomagnetic field (Singer, 1957).
