The paper discusses how profiles of electron and/or ion distributions that are produced by two different computer models can be smoothly coupled together. The first of these models is the empirical International Reference Ionosphere which produces a vertical profile of ionospheric parameters up to an altitude of 1000 km. The second is a physically-based, diffusive equilibrium model of the plasmasphere based upon the theoretical work of Angerami and Thomas /1/, in which plasma is constrained to move parallel to the Earth's magnetic field lines. Some problems associated with this work are considered, as are some initial results.
