“…Trapped hot ions at an energy range of 0.05-5 keV in the inner magnetosphere have complicated morphologies and mirror altitudes at different longitude, geomagnetic conditions, and L values (McIlwain, 1974;Quinn and McIlwain, 1979;Ejiri et al, 1980;Fennell et al, 1981;Sauvaud et al, 1981;Newell and Meng, 1986;Ebihara et al, 2001Ebihara et al, , 2004Yamauchi et al, 1996Yamauchi et al, , 2013. These trapped hot ions in the inner magnetosphere bounce between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere with short bounce periods of only about 11 min for 100 eV protons and 4 min for 1 keV protons at L = 4 (see, e.g., Quinn and McIlwain, 1979).…”
