Japanese: plasmapause
plasmapause

...(1) Plasmasphere The region above RE + 1000 km from the center of the Earth, from about 4 RE on the morning side to about 6 RE on the evening side, is filled with relatively low-temperature plasma (10 4 to 10 5 K) flowing from the ionosphere below, and is distinguished from other regions as the plasmasphere (Figure 4). At the upper boundary of the plasmasphere, called the plasmapause, the plasma density changes suddenly, and a decrease of more than one order of magnitude from 10 2 to 10 3 particles/cm3 to 1 to 10 particles/cm3 is observed in a narrow region of about 0.1 RE . The plasma in this region rotates along with the Earth's rotation (this is called corotation). ...

…(1)プラズマ圏plasmasphere 地球の中心からRE+約1000kmより上側で,午前側で約4RE,夕方側で約6REまでの領域は,その下にある電離圏から流れ出た比較的温度の低いプラズマ(104~105K)によって満たされており,プラズマ圏として他の領域と区別される(図4)。プラズマポーズplasmapauseと呼ばれるプラズマ圏の上側境界では,プラズマの密度が急激に変わり,102~103個/cm3から1~10個/cm3への1けた以上の減少が0.1REくらいの狭い領域で観測される。この領域のプラズマは,地球の自転とともに回転している(これを共回転という)。…
