Abstract—Nonlinear modification of the plasma magnetospheric density near the dayside magnetospheric
boundary, caused by the ponderomotive force induced by ULF geomagnetic pulsations, has been studied ana-
lytically and numerically. An expression for the ponderomotive force, which differs from the previous similar
results, has been obtained. It has been indicated that the well-known Pitaevskii formula for magnetic moment
is incomplete. The action of the ponderomotive, gravitational, and centrifugal forces on magnetospheric plasma
modification in a two-dipole geomagnetic field according to the (Antonova and Shabanskii, 1968) model has
been considered.
