Limited Angle Reconstruction Method for Reconstructing Terrestrial Plasmaspheric Densities from EUV Images
A new method for reconstructing the global 3D distribution of plasma densities in the plasmasphere from a limited number of 2D views is presented. The method is aimed at using data from the Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) sensor on NASA s Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) satellite. Physical properties of the plasmasphere are exploited by the method to reduce the level of inaccuracy imposed by the limited number of views. The utility of the method is demonstrated on synthetic data.
