Low-frequency electric field fluctuations and field-aligned electron beams around the edge of an auroral acceleration region
Electron beams narrowly collimated to the magnetic field line were observed continuously from a downward current region to an auroral acceleration region (i.e., upward current region). They were well correlated with lowfrequency electric field fluctuations in the auroral acceleration region as well as in the adjacent downward current region. Magnetic field fluctuations were found only in the do...
متن کاملKinetic Theory of the Alfvén Wave Acceleration of Auroral Electrons
Recent observations have indicated that in addition to the classical “inverted-V” type electron acceleration, auroral electrons often have a field-aligned distribution that is broad in energy and sometimes shows time dispersion indicating acceleration at various altitudes up the field line. Such acceleration is not consistent with a purely electrostatic potential drop, and suggests a wave heati...
متن کاملElectron Beam Experiments at High Altitudes
Experiments with the electron gun on the SCATHA satellite produced evidence of beam-plasma interactions, and heating of the low energy electrons around the satellite. These experiments were conduct ed near geosynchronous orbit, in the dusk bulge, and plasma sheet, with one short operation in the lobe regions, providing a range of ambient plasma densities. The electron gun was operated at 50 eV,...
متن کاملDetecting Narrow, Field-aligned Spatial Structures in the Auroral Ionosphere Using the Eiscat Svalbard Radar Dual Antennas as an Interferometer
In order to provide observations to help decide between competing theories of Anomalous Ion Spectra (AIS) observed at several Incoherent Scattering Radar (ISR) observatories, to explore the possibility of any connection between this phenomenon and visible auroral forms, and to see if enhanced scattering is due to localised scattering structures, we have used the two antennas of the EISCAT Svalb...
متن کاملSimultaneous comparison of the personal UV exposure of two human groups at different altitudes.
A simultaneous comparison of human exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation at two locations was performed to study the effect of environmental factors and human attitudes on personal ultraviolet exposure. The study took place on 29 October 1996 in Toowoomba (27.5 degrees S, 151.9 degrees E) and Brisbane (27.4 degrees S, 153.1 degrees E), Queensland, Australia. From the data collected by calibra...
