Interhemispheric comparison of average substorm onset locations: evidence for deviation from conjugacy
Based on 2760 well-defined substorm onsets in the Northern Hemisphere and 1432 in the Southern Hemisphere observed by the FUV Imager on board the IMAGE spacecraft, a detailed statistical study is performed including both auroral regions. This study focuses on the hemispheric comparisons. Southward pointing interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is favorable for substorm to occur, but still 30% of ...
متن کاملFundamental Aspects of Substorm Onset
We now know that substorm onset occurs within the near-Earth plasma sheet in the region associated with the Harang electric field reversal. It is also known that substorm onset is generally associated with a reduction in the large-scale convection driven by the solar wind, and that this reduction is imparted to the ionosphere a few minutes prior to substorm onset. This is the same time relative...
متن کاملInterhemispheric stroop-like interference in number comparison: evidence for strong interhemispheric integration of semantic number information.
Three experiments investigated interhemispheric interactions in number comparison using the interhemispheric Stroop-like paradigm (E. Ratinckx, M. Brysbaert, & B. Reynvoet, 2001). In all experiments, a target was presented in I visual field simultaneously with a distractor in the other visual field. In Experiment 1, both target and distractor were of the same modality (Arabic digits), whereas i...
متن کاملTail reconnection triggering substorm onset.
Magnetospheric substorms explosively release solar wind energy previously stored in Earth's magnetotail, encompassing the entire magnetosphere and producing spectacular auroral displays. It has been unclear whether a substorm is triggered by a disruption of the electrical current flowing across the near-Earth magnetotail, at approximately 10 R(E) (R(E): Earth radius, or 6374 kilometers), or by ...
متن کاملRelative timing of substorm onset phenomena
[1] In this paper we examine the temporal ordering of midtail flow bursts, Pi2 pulsations, and auroral arc brightening at substorm onset. We present three substorm events for which the Geotail spacecraft was situated at local midnight, near the inner edge of the plasmasheet. We show that high-speed, convective Earthward directed plasma flows observed by Geotail occurred 1–3 min before auroral o...
