Inner Magnetospheric Oxygen Torus Induced by Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves

Abstract Cold oxygen ions escaping from the ionosphere and temporarily trapped near the plasmapause form the oxygen torus. Mass‐loading by these oxygen ions significantly affects magnetospheric plasma processes. However, due to the technical challenges in measuring cold oxygen ions and the limited s...
