中文摘要	A three dimensional ray tracing of fast magnetosonic (MS) waves is first performed by using a global core density model and a field-aligned density model. Simulating results show that MS waves are primarily confined within a few degrees of the geomagnetic equator due to magnetospheric reflection. MS waves originating from different L-shells on the dayside can propagate either into or out of the plasmasphere through the plasmapause. In particular, MS waves can propagate eastward (later MLT) or westward (earlier MLT) over a broad region of MLT. The current results further reveal a variety of propagation characteristics, particularly important for the MLT distribution of MS waves.
