The Origin and Evolution of Deep Plasmaspheric NotchesDeep plasmaspheric notches can extend over more than 2 RE and 3 hours MLT in the magnetic equatorial plane. They can last for days and exhibit varying structure. In this presentation, the low L-shell portion of the recovery-time plasmaspheric convection plume will be explored as the source for these deep evacuations in density. Interactions with the ring current will be explored as the source of features observed in these density depletions.
