Magnetic field configuration and field-aligned acceleration of energetic ions during substorm onsets
In this paper, we present an interpretation of the observed field-aligned acceleration events measured by GEOS-2 near the night-side synchronous orbit at substorm onsets (Chen et al., 2000). We show that field-aligned acceleration of ions (with pitch angle asymmetry) is closely related to strong short-lived electric fields in the Ey direction. The acceleration is associated with either rapid di...
متن کاملThe particle carriers of field-aligned currents in the Earth's magnetotail during a substorm
Although the particle carriers of field-aligned currents (FACs) in the Earth’s magnetotail play an important role in the transfer of momentum and energy between the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere, the characteristics of the FAC carriers have been poorly understood. Taking advantage of multiinstrument magnetic field and plasma data collected by the four spacecraft of the Cluster const...
متن کاملSimultaneous Remote Observations of Intense Reconnection Effects by DMSP and MMS Spacecraft During a Storm Time Substorm
During a magnetic storm on 23 June 2015, several very intense substorms took place, with signatures observed by multiple spacecraft including DMSP and Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS). At the time of interest, DMSP F18 crossed inbound through a poleward expanding auroral bulge boundary at 23.5 h magnetic local time (MLT), while MMS was located duskward of 22 h MLT during an inward crossing of th...
متن کاملOn the coupling between the Harang reversal evolution and substorm dynamics: A synthesis of SuperDARN, DMSP, and IMAGE observations
[1] The Harang reversal is a prominent feature frequently observed in the electric and magnetic field patterns in the high-latitude auroral zone and plays an important role in substorm dynamics. A comprehensive set of instruments, including Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN), Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), and Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMA...
متن کاملRelation of the auroral substorm to the substorm current wedge
The auroral substorm is an organized sequence of events seen in the aurora near midnight. It is a manifestation of the magnetospheric substorm which is a disturbance of the magnetosphere brought about by the solar wind transfer of magnetic flux from the dayside to the tail lobes and its return through the plasma sheet to the dayside. The most dramatic feature of the auroral substorm is the sudd...
