The Plasmasphere as Seen by the IMAGE EUV InstrumentThe IMAGE spacecraft includes the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imager, which is designed to view He+ plasmaspheric ions in the inner magnetosphere. These images provide the first opportunity to view the global distribution of plasmaspheric ions and their response to solar wind induced convection and the ring current. In addition to the generalized pattern of convection long believed to develop in thermal plasma, the EUV instrument is observing other meso-scale patterns of plasma distribution never before observed or postulated using in situ measurements. This poster presentation will present the "first light" observations of the EUV instrument and their possible interpretations.
