Spectral scaling in the turbulent Earth’s plasma sheet revisited
Bursty bulk flow associated magnetic fluctuations exhibit at least three spectral scaling ranges in the Earth’s plasma sheet. Two of the three scaling ranges can be associated with multi-scale magnetohydrodynamic turbulence between the spatial scales from ∼100 km to several RE (RE is the Earth’s radius). These scales include the inertial range and below ∼0.5RE a steepened scaling range, theoret...
متن کاملDriven reconnection and bursty bulk flows
The energetics of driven magnetic reconnections induced by the deformation of the magnetopause boundary due to the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction are studied. The bursty type reconnection ensues due to the forcing of the magnetopause boundary by the solar wind. For typical plasma parameters in the inner central plasma sheet (ICPS), the magnetic energy release during the reconnection is es...
متن کاملMulti-instrument Observations of Bursty Bulk Flows and Their Ionospheric Counterparts
During the first three years of its mission the Cluster constellation has passed through the near-Earth inner central plasma sheet ~300 times. During these times Cluster has been able to identify a large number of ‘bursty bulk flow’ events at a range of local times between 20 and 04 MLT. The aim of the present study is to investigate the statistics of these BBF events using both the Cluster dat...
متن کاملMulti-instrument observations of the ionospheric counterpart of a bursty bulk flow in the near-Earth plasma sheet
On 07 September 2001 the Cluster spacecraft observed a “bursty bulk flow” event in the near-Earth central plasma sheet. This paper presents a detailed study of the coincident ground-based observations and attempts to place them within a simple physical framework. The event in question occurs at ∼22:30 UT, some 10 min after a southward turning of the IMF. IMAGE and SAMNET magnetometer measuremen...
متن کاملNonlinear evolution of the firehose instability in a magnetic dipole geotail geometry
Bursty bulk flows increase the parallel pressure faster than the perpendicular pressure in the highb central plasma sheet driving the firehose instability fS. Ji and R. A. Wolf, J. Geophys. Res. 108, 1191 s2003d; 30, 2242 s2003dg. A nonlinear partial differential equation is derived and an initial-value code developed to investigate the firehose anisotropy-driven turbulence in the Earth’s geota...
