An empirical model is developed for plasmaspheric low-energy plasma consisting of H(+). The model is developed from a data base derived from measurements taken by the Retarding Ion Mass Spectrometer on the DE-1 satellite. An analytical expression that reproduces the density profiles for moderate geomagnetic activity is given and discussed. This expression reproduces the density fall-off in the ionosphere as well as the sharp density decrease at the plasmapause.
