We derive expressions for the mirror point, the bounce period, the second adiabatic invariant, and the bounce-averaged azimuthal drift velocity as functions of equatorial pitch angle for a charged particle in a dipole magnetic field in the presence of centrifugal, gravitational, and Coriolis forces. These expressions are evaluated numerically, and the results displayed graphically. We also evaluate the average azimuthal drift speed for a flux tube containing a thermal equilibrium plasma distribution. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988 |
