Abstract
The ion density, ion composition and electron temperature have been me asured onboard the Intercosmos 24 satellite. Local increases of light ion density accompanied by electron temperature enhancements and simul taneously observed VLF wave phenomena are interpreted as a manifestati on of the refilling ion fluxes within the plasmasphere.
