Excitation of field line resonances by sources outside the magnetosphere
Field line resonances are thought to be excited by sources either at the magnetopause or outside it. Recent observations suggest that they may be associated with coherent oscillations or pressure pulses in the solar wind. In either case the excitation mechanism can be understood by considering the incidence of a harmonic wave on the magnetopause from outside the magnetosphere. Calculations are ...
متن کاملUncertainties in field-line tracing in the magnetosphere. Part II: the complete internal geomagnetic field
The discussion in the preceding paper is restricted to the uncertainties in magnetic-field-line tracing in the magnetosphere resulting from published standard errors in the spherical harmonic coefficients that define the axisymmetric part of the internal geomagnetic field (i.e. gn dg 0 n). Numerical estimates of these uncertainties based on an analytic equation for axisymmetric field lines are ...
متن کاملChaos and Structures in the Magnetosphere
The nonlinear plasma transport mechanisms that control the collisionless heating in the Earth’s magnetosphere and the onset of geomagnetic substorms are reviewed. In the high pressure plasma trapped in the reversed magnetic field loops on the nightside of the magnetosphere, the key issue of the role of the ion orbital chaos as the mechanism for the plasma sheet energization is examined. The ene...
متن کاملSaturn's Magnetic Field and Magnetosphere.
The Pioneer Saturn vector helium magnetometer has detected a bow shock and magnetopause at Saturn and has provided an accurate characterization of the planetary field. The equatorial surface field is 0.20 gauss, a factor of 3 to 5 times smaller than anticipated on the basis of attempted scalings from Earth and Jupiter. The tilt angle between the magnetic dipole axis and Saturn's rotation axis i...
متن کاملThe Hidden Ion Population of the Magnetosphere
Particle data from two geosynchronous satellites (Applied Technology Satellite 6 and SCATHA) show a normally hidden ion population appearing when the satellites are in the earth's shadow. Ion and electron data show the spacecraft potential dropping from +10 V in sunlight to +4 to +5 V in eclipse at local midnight, in low-energy (T < 1 keV) plasma sheet environments. During eclipse, a cold (T = ...
