Observations of ̄ux rope ± associated particle bursts with GEOTAIL in the distant tail
Geotail energetic particle, magnetic ®eld data and plasma observations (EPIC, MGF and CPI experiments) have been examined for a number of energetic particle bursts in the distant tail 120Re < jXGSMj < 130 Re, associated with moving magnetic ®eld structures, following substorm onsets. The features obtained from this data analysis are consistent with the distant magnetotail dynamics determined ...
متن کاملSubstorm inner plasma sheet particle reduction
[1] Geotail measurements from within the equatorial inner plasma sheet at r 10–13 RE are used to show that a reduction in equatorial plasma pressure within the current wedge is a general feature of substorms and that this decrease is simultaneous with the wellknown expansion phase increase in energetic particle fluxes. The decrease in pressure is found to be due to a decrease in particle fluxes...
متن کاملMidnight 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,...
