Abstract
Ponderomotive redistribution of ions along geomagnetic field lines is analyzed within the frame-work of a simple model of diffusion equilibrium of a multicomponent plasma. Miller force prevails in the case of Alfven waves. This also takes place in the case of ion-cyclotron waves at the low-frequency limit. Qualitative analysis of the equations with allowance for satellite-based data on wave intensity shows significant redistribution of magnetospheric plasma due to Miller force.
