Field-aligned current associated with low-latitude plasma blobs as observed by the CHAMP satellite
Here we give two examples of low-latitude plasma blobs accompanied by linearly polarized perpendicular magnetic deflections which imply that associated field-aligned currents (FACs) have a 2-D sheet structure located at the blob walls. The estimated FAC density is of the order of 0.1 μA/m2. The direction of magnetic deflections points westward of the magnetic meridian and there is a linear corr...
متن کاملLow-latitude ionospheric turbulence observed by Aureol-3 satellite
Using PSD (Power Spectral Density) data on electron density and electric field variations observed on board Aureol-3 satellite at low-to-mid-latitude ionosphere we analyze a scale distribution of the ionospheric turbulence in a form k , where k is the wave number and α is the spectral index. At first, high-resolution data in the near-equator region for several orbits have been processed. In thi...
متن کاملThe Midlatitude Summer Night Anomaly as observed by CHAMP and GRACE: Interpreted as tidal features
This paper presents a description of the Midlatitude Summer Night Anomaly (MSNA) in terms of solar tidal signatures, based on in situ observations from CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload) and GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) during the solar minimum years 2008 and 2009. Our analysis is focusing on 40◦ to 60◦ magnetic latitude ranges in both hemispheres, where the reversed d...
متن کاملNoon-time equatorial electrojet: Its spatial features as determined by the CHAMP satellite
[1] New observations obtained by the satellite CHAMP reveal a detailed picture of the noon-time equatorial electrojet (EEJ). The low orbit of CHAMP and its high-precision magnetometers reveal the spatial structure of the EEJ with unprecedented accuracy. Data from more than two and a half years have been used to investigate average features and also the global characteristics of the EEJ. Rather ...
متن کاملMedium- to large-scale density variability as observed by CHAMP
[1] Atmospheric density accounts for the largest source of error for predicting low-Earth orbiting satellite positions. Relevant applications include catalog maintenance, collision avoidance, and mission design. In this paper we quantify density model errors due to density variability at submodel grid spatial scales. Densities in the 370--450 km height region inferred from accelerometer measure...
