Global views of the ring current P.C. Brandt, D.G. Mitchell, S. Barabash, E.C. Roelof Latest measurements from IMAGE/HENA will be presented. Some global effects, such as the interaction between the ring current and the plasmasphere will be discussed. Also, results from the ENA imager onboard the Swedish microsatellite Astrid-1 from early 1995 will be presented. These observations show unexpected steady features of the quiet time ring current. _______________ Presented at the European Geophysical Society meeting, Nice, France, March 30, 2001
