Seasonal Cusp Radiation Belt on Dayside Magnetosphere
The possibility of quasi-stable trapping of charged particles of hundreds keV to MeV energy on the frontside Earth magnetosphere is explored in by numerical modeling of the single particle orbits in the geomagnetic field utilizing empirical Tsyganenko magnetic field model. Due to solar wind pressure the remote magnetic field lines on the frontside of the magnetosphere exhibit two minima in the ...
متن کاملPoloidal ULF oscillations in the dayside magnetosphere: a Cluster study
Three ULF wave events, all occurring in the dayside magnetopshere during magnetically quiet times, are studied using the Cluster satellites. The multi-point measurements obtained from Cluster are used to determine the azimuthal wave number for the events by means of the phase shift and the azimuthal separation between the satellites. Also, the polarisation of the electric and magnetic fields is...
متن کاملMESSENGER observations of large dayside flux transfer events: Do they drive Mercurys substorm cycle?
The large-scale dynamic behavior of Mercury’s highly compressedmagnetosphere is predominantly powered by magnetic reconnection, which transfers energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere. The contribution of flux transfer events (FTEs) at the daysidemagnetopause to the redistribution of magnetic flux in Mercury’s magnetosphere is assessed with magnetic field data acquired in o...
متن کاملObservations of convection in the dayside magnetosphere by the beam instrument on Geotail
We report observations of magnetospheric convection by the beam instrument, EFD-B, on Geotail. The region analyzed in this study is mainly the afternoon sector of the magnetosphere between L = 9.7−11.5. When the instrument is operated, electron beams are emitted from guns and some of them return to detectors attached to the main body of the satellite. However, we find that the return beams are ...
متن کاملObservations of polar patches generated by solar wind Alfve n wave coupling to the dayside magnetosphere
A long series of polar patches was observed by ionosondes and an all-sky imager during a disturbed period (Kp 7and IMF Bz < 0). The ionosondes measured electron densities of up to 9 ́ 10 m in the patch center, an increase above the density minimum between patches by a factor of 4.5. Bands of F-region irregularities generated at the equatorward edge of the patches were tracked by HF radars. Th...
