Dawn-dusk asymmetries and sub-Alfvénic flow in the high and low latitude magnetosheath
We present the results of a statistical survey of the magnetosheath using four years of Cluster orbital coverage. Moments of the plasma distribution obtained from the electron and ion instruments together with magnetic field data are used to characterise the flow and density in the magnetosheath. We note two important differences between our survey and the gasdynamic model predictions: a decele...
متن کاملCluster multispacecraft observations at the high-latitude duskside magnetopause: implications for continuous and component magnetic reconnection
We report multispacecraft Cluster observations of magnetic reconnection at the high-latitude magnetopause/magnetospheric boundary layer (MP/BL) under mainly northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions. The event we study is on 3 December 2001 when the Cluster spacecraft were skimming the high-latitude duskside MP/BL during a period of about four hours. The orbit and configuration o...
متن کاملFlux Transfer Events at the Dayside Magnetopause: Transient Reconnection or Magnetosheath Dynamic Pressure Pulses?
The suggestion isdiscussed that characteristic particle and field signatures at the dayside magnetopause, termed "flux transfer events" (FTEs), are, in at least some cases, due to transient solar wind and/or magnetosheath dynamic pressure increases, rather than timedependent magnetic reconnection. It is found that most individual cases of FTEs observed by a single spacecraft can, at least quali...
متن کاملStructure of the low-latitude magnetopause: MAGION-4 observations
The aims of this paper are (1) briefly to describe the plasma devices onboard the MAGION-4 satellite, launched on 3 August 1995, of the INTERBALL project, and (2) to discuss first observations made near the magnetopause region. During the presented boundary crossings the MAGION-4 observed quasiperiodic pulses of magnetosheath-like plasma in a region of low plasma density. This region is located...
متن کاملFlux transfer events on the high-latitude magnetopause: Interball-1 observations
We present case and statistical studies of flux transfer events (FTEs) observed by Interball-1 on the highlatitude magnetopause. The case studies provide observations of FTEs in the cusp during periods of southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation and on the magnetopause poleward of the cusp during periods of strongly northward IMF orientation. We interpret the former in terms of...
