Sometimes one sees thing in the data that defy all description.

Region
Interval
Description (if possible)
Plasmasphere/Auroral zone
2001-03-12 0540 - 0700
Positive spacecraft potential in some of the interval.  Nonlinear spikes in the data, although sinusoidal spinfits.  Wild disagreement with EDI/CIS.
Plasmasphere
2002-05-07 0930 - 0950
Momentary (1-min) density enhancement seen in all sats during period of intense wave activity.  Vsc goes from -2 to -0.5.  EDI, and most EFW pairs, see no change in E during the enhancement.  C2P34, however, does some strange nonlinear thing.
