Abstract

On the basis of an invariant representation of ion spectra with μ > 0.1 keV/nT, new methods of separation and quantitative analysis of the adiabatic component of storm-associated variations of fluxes of ions in the geomagnetic trap from the satellite data are developed. The regularities of adiabatic variations of flux ratios for different ion components, associated with their spectra scaling laws, are considered.
