AMPTE ion composition resultsThe CHEM and SULEICA experiments on the AMPTE/CCE and IRM spacecraft have been used to identify ion species of solar wind as well as of ionospheric origin and to meaasure their distribution functions in the energy range of 1-315 keV/e. This paper reviews current observations of the composition of magnetospheric ions in the bulk of the ring current and in the near-earth plasma sheet during both quiet and disturbed times, as well as in the near-noon magnetosheath at times when the magnetosphere is compressed.
