Realistic magnetospheric density model for 29 August 2000

Using a two dimensional image of the Earth's plasmasphere taken by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUV) on the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) spacecraft, in-situ electron density measurements from the IMAGE Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) instrument, measurements of magnetospheric mass density inferred from field line resonant frequencies measured by magnetometers on the Earth's surface, and a model for the density field aligned variation, we construct a computer model for the magnetospheric density on 29 August 2000 at 1519 UT. The purposes of this study are to demonstrate how a density model can be constructed using multiple data sources, to document this particular model, which is being used in studies of ultra low frequency Pi-2 oscillations and plasmaspheric cavity modes, to describe some of the problems involved with EUV density inversion, and to demonstrate some features of the plasmaspheric density, particularly in the region of the dusk plasmatrough and plume.
