DOI 10.1007 s11214-009-9532-7 Springer Science Business Media B.V. 2009 The Image and Cluster spacecraft have revolutionized our understanding of the inner magnetosphere and in particular the plasmasphere. Before launch, the plasmasphere was not a prime objective of the CLUSTER mission. In fact, CLUSTER might not have ever observed this region because a few years before the CLUSTER launch at the beginning of...

The solid black curve is the electron density ne found using the four CLUSTER spacecraft, the dotted black curve is the mass density pm divided by 2.5 amu based on Alfven frequencies measured by C1. The red and blue solid curves are the H and O densities consistent with ne and pm assuming a H O plasma the O density has been multiplied by 10 . Adapted from...

History of Plasmasphere Data Interpretation
In this section we illustrate the fundamental modes of data interpretation that have been used prior to Image and Cluster, so that the significance of the new analysis methods used in conjunction with those missions can be more fully appreciated. We discuss plasmasphere data interpretation by highlighting a few historical milestones a more complete account of the history of plasmaspheric research before the Image and CLUSTER missions can be found in the monograph by Lemaire and Gringauz 1998 ....

DOI 10.1007 s11214-009-9508-7 Springer Science Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract This paper highlights significant advances in plasmaspheric wave research with Cluster and Image observations. This leap forward was made possible thanks to the new observational capabilities of these space missions. On one hand, the multipoint view of the four Cluster satellites, a unique capability, has enabled the estimation...

DOI 10.1007 s11214-008-9464-7 Springer Science Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract Ground-based instruments and a number of space missions have contributed to our knowledge of the plasmasphere since its discovery half a century ago, but it is fair to say that many questions have remained unanswered. Recently, NASA's Image and ESA's Cluster probes have introduced new observational concepts, thereby providing a...
Conclusion
The Cluster and Image missions provide a new and non-local view of the plasmasphere, thanks to the new capabilities of those missions global imaging with Image and four-spacecraft in situ measurements with CLUSTER. Using advanced imaging techniques and radio sounding, Image provided new results for the global density structure and behaviour of plasma in the plasmasphere, while multipoint tools applied to CLUSTER data gave new opportunities to analyse the geometry and motion of plasmaspheric...

In this review, we first recall conventional wisdom and remaining problems from ground-based whistler measurements. Then we show scientific results from Cluster and Image, which are specifically made possible by newly...

Hiss
The last comprehensive review on plasmaspheric and mid-latitude hiss was done by Hayakawa and Sazhin 1992 . The following two sections are not an update to that work, but rather tries to put into context recent advances obtained on these natural waves thanks to the Cluster and Image satellites. Plasmaspheric hiss is an electromagnetic emission confined to the plasmasphere. It occurs at all local times but is more intense on the dayside, and further intensifies with geomagnetic activity Dunckel...
