Abstract

The effect of ponderomotive forces induced by geomagnetic pulsations outside of the noon meridional plane is considered. We show that this effect will result in the acceleration of the formation of a high-plasma density (condensed plasma) outside of the noon sector and at high latitudes. The dependence of perturbations of a normalized mass plasma density outside of the noon meridional plane on the different magnetospheric parameters is calculated.
