Compressional Pc5 type pulsations in the morningside plasma sheet
We study compressional pulsations in Pc5 frequency range observed in the dawn-side at distances of about 10 RE , close to the magnetic equator. We use data obtained during two events of conjunctions between Equator-S and Geotail: 1000–1700 UT on 9 March 1998, and 0200–0600 UT on 25 April 1998. In both events, pulsations are observed after substorm activity. The pulsations are antisymmetric with...
متن کاملLocalized fast flow disturbance observed in the plasma sheet
An isolated plasma sheet flow burst took place at 22:02 UT, 1 September 2002, when the Cluster footpoint was located within the area covered by the Magnetometers-Ionospheric Radars-All-sky Cameras Large Experiment (MIRACLE). The event was associated with a clear but weak ionospheric disturbance and took place during a steady southward IMF interval, about 1 h preceding a major substorm onset. Mu...
متن کاملThe active plasma sheet: definition of ’events’ and statistical analysis
A statistical analysis of the plasma sheet activity is performed from CLUSTER observations (years 2001 to 2004). Different types of ’events’ are defined by using the plasma flow velocity (V-events), the low frequency magnetic fluctuations (B-events), and the spectral density of higher frequency waves (HF-events). They are selected by an automatic procedure from 2 criteria: a lower threshold for...
متن کاملInterball-tail observations of vertical plasma motions in the magnetotail
The Interball spacecraft configuration favors, in contrast to previous experiments, investigation of vertical ion flows (GSM Vz). We use measurements of the CORALL instrument for the statistical study of Vz and Vy plasma flows in the mid-tail plasma sheet. In agreement with the previous observations, the mean Vy was positive on the dusk side and negative on the dawn side. When IMF was southward...
متن کاملEntry of Plasma Sheet Particles into the Inner Magnetosphere Observed by POLAR/CAMMICE
Statistical results are presented from Polax/CAMMICE measurements of events during which the plasma sheet ions have penetrated deeply into the inner magnetosphere. Owing to their characteristic structure in energy-time spectrograms, these events are called "intense nose events." Almost 400 observations of such structures were made during 1997. Intense nose events axe shown to be more frequent i...
