Midnight radial profiles of the quiet and growth-phase plasma sheet: The Geotail observations
[1] To evaluate the plasma sheet transition from weak to strong convection, we investigate ion moments and magnetic field observed by Geotail. The Geotail data from 1995 to 1997 within the area 9 RE XGSM 30 RE and jYGSMj 5 RE were sorted for periods of quiet times and the substorm growth phase, which gives a better indication of convection strength than do global indexes. We find that the overa...
متن کاملOrigin of temperature anisotropies in the cold plasma sheet: Geotail observations around the Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices
To further our understanding of the solar wind entry across the magnetopause under northward IMF, we perform a case study of a duskside Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) vortex event on 24 March 1995. We have found that the protons consist of two separate (cold and hot) components in the magnetosphere-like region inside the KH vortical structure. The cold proton component occasionally consisted of counter-...
متن کاملGeotail observations of temperature anisotropy of the two-component protons in the dusk plasma sheet
In search for clues towards the understanding of the cold plasma sheet formation under northward IMF, we study the temperature anisotropy of the two-component protons in the plasma sheet near the dusk low-latitude boundary observed by the Geotail spacecraft. The two-component protons result from mixing of the cold component from the solar wind and the hot component of the magnetospheric origin,...
متن کاملGeotail observations of two-component protons in the midnight plasma sheet
Through the effort to obtain clues toward understanding of transport of cold plasma in the nearEarth magnetotail under northward IMF, we find that twocomponent protons are observed in the midnight plasma sheet (−10>XGSM>−30RE , |YGSM|<10RE) under northward IMF by the Geotail spacecraft. Since the twocomponent protons are frequently observed on the duskside during northward IMF intervals but har...
متن کاملPlasma Wave Observations During Electron Beam Experiments at High Altitudes
Electron beam experiments on the nearly geosynchronous P78—2 satellite conducted in 1979 resulted in observations of intense radiation near the local electron gyrofrequency. These signals resembled naturally occuring fCe waves during the same period. The amplitude of the stimulated waves depended upon beam parameters. During 50 eV beam operations, current levels of 10 pA produced strong emissio...
