Langmuir probe data obtained during the storm period March 20–23, 1990, on board the MAGION-2 subsatellite of the ACTIVNY experiment are analyzed to study the plasmaspheric and ionospheric response to a magnetic storm. The data indicate a well-pronounced equatorward edge of the electron density trough in the afternoon (18:15 LT) at about 800 km height that moves towards lower latitudes during the course of the storm. It is interesting to note that the electron density inside the plasmasphere is increased by more than 20% in the morning shortly after sunrise (07:30 LT). This is due to enhanced O+ densities in the lower plasmasphere during the growth phase of the geomagnetic storm as measured by the ion mass spectrometer NAM-5 onboard the main satellite. It is suggested that the source for the increased density is thermospheric Joule heating at auroral latitudes with a commensurate increase in thermospheric pressure. This increased pressure causes the local thermosphere to expand both upward and equatorward. The increased atomic-oxygen scale height coupled with equatorward motion of fhermospheric perturbations results in an increased O density and resulting O+ density within the lower plasmasphere. The observations indicate a storm-induced compression of the plasmasphere that favourizes an enhanced outflow of plasma into the ionosphere leading to an increased nighttime F2-layer ionization and a depletion of the plasmasphere during the following hours.
