For the Earth, the plasmapause is described as the equipotential boundary between a region dominated by the corotational electric field, where there are closed particle orbits, and a region dominated by a convective dawn-dusk electric field, where there are no closed orbits. However, the existence of such a static boundary for the dynamic magnetospheres of Uranus and Neptune has been called into question, by two dimensional guiding center calculations for particles in the magnetic equatorial plane.  3, record 1, English, - plasmapause
