"Everything but the kitchen sink: Physical models, ULF resonance, GPS TEC, multi-diagnostic, multi-satellite in situ, and EUV imaging data combined to create a 3D inner magnetospheric density model" Abstract: The low-energy inner magnetospheric mass and electron number density determines the wave environment and particle collision frequencies that modulate ring current and radiation belt particle populations. Several new measurement techniques allow for the first time global observations of the low-energy densities in the inner magnetosphere. The combination of the techniques and data sets allows the estimate of the mass composition as well. This talk will describe these techniques, progress to date, and a future mission concept that fully exploits these techniques.
