• Thermal plasma measurements performed on MAGION 5 (subsatellite of INTERBALL 1) in the plasmasphere of the Earth are analyzed in conjunction with simultaneous solar wind data and ground-based ionospheric measurements in quiet geomagnetic conditions, during and after geomagnetic storms. In situ satellite observations reveal the existence of long-lived (2-3 days) depleted regions (MLT width > 1.5-2 hours) in the plasmasphere that extend out from L - 3. These observations well correspond to 'notch' or 'bite-out' regions found by the IMAGE spacecraft. Possible reasons for the formation of low-density regions are discussed.
