Ionospheric signatures of magnetospheric boundaries in the post-noon sector
Spatial structures in ionospheric electron density revealed in a tomographic image have been identi®ed with auroral forms and related to their sources in precipitating particles observed by DMSP satellites. The observations of plasma enhancements relate to discrete auroral arcs seen in the post-noon sector, identi®ed by both redand green-line emissions measured by a meridional scanning photomet...
متن کاملScaling and singularity characteristics of solar wind and magnetospheric fluctuations
Preliminary results are presented which suggest that scaling and singularity characteristics of solar wind and ground based magnetic fluctuations appear to be a significant component in the solar wind magnetosphere interaction processes. Of key importance is the intermittence of the ”magnetic turbulence” as seen in ground based and solar wind magnetic data. The methods used in this paper (estim...
متن کاملApril 2000 magnetic storm: Solar wind driver and magnetospheric response
[1] On 4 April 2000, a coronal mass ejection (CME) took place close to the western limb of the Sun. The shock front of the CME hit the Earth’s magnetosphere on 6 April. A strong interplanetary southward BZ event in the sheath region caused a magnetic storm that was the second strongest in the year 2000 if quantified by the peak of the Dst index. We have analyzed this sequence of events using ob...
متن کاملMagnetospheric reconnection driven by solar wind pressure fronts
Recent work has shown that solar wind dynamic pressure changes can have a dramatic effect on the particle precipitation in the high-latitude ionosphere. It has also been noted that the preexisting interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation can significantly affect the resulting changes in the size, location, and intensity of the auroral oval. Here we focus on the effect of pressure pulses ...
متن کاملMagnetospheric responses to sudden and quasiperiodic solar wind variations
[1] On April 13 (day 103), 2001, 0700–1400 UT, the Polar satellite experienced different plasma regimes (i.e., magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind) because of the solar wind dynamic pressure variations and its high orbital inclination near the subsolar magnetopause meridian. When Polar was in the magnetosheath, quasiperiodic spacecraft potential (SP) variations, corresponding to densit...
