ELF magnetospheric lines observed by DEMETER
The influence of man-made activity on the ionosphere may be very important. The effects induced by the Power Line Harmonic Radiation (PLHR) may change the natural wave activity and/or the ionospheric plasma components. One goal of the ionospheric satellite DEMETER launched in June 2004 is to study the ionospheric perturbations which could be related to this anthropogenic activity. As the first ...
متن کاملConductive electron heat flow along magnetic field lines
In this work, a unified closure for the conductive electron heat flux along magnetic field lines is derived and examined. Both free-streaming and collisional pitch-angle scattering of electrons are present in the drift kinetic equation which is solved using an expansion in pitch-angle eigenfunctions ~Legendre polynomials!. The closure takes the form of a generic integral operator involving the ...
متن کاملModeling stretched solitary waves along magnetic field lines
A model is presented for a new type of fast solitary waves which is observed in downward current regions of the auroral zone. The three-dimensional, coherent structures are electrostatic, have a positive potential, and move along the magnetic field lines with speeds on the order of the electron drift. Their parallel potential profile is flattened and cannot fit to the Gaussian shape used in pre...
متن کاملDifferent eigenproblem models for field line resonances in cold plasma: Effect on magnetospheric density estimates
Magnetospheric plasma density can be remotely sensed through ground-based magnetometer data using a suitable model for field line resonances (FLRs) formed by standing shear Alfvén wave on closed geomagnetic field lines. The simplest type of FLR model, which is also the most relevant for magnetometer data inversion purposes, is based on solving a certain eigenvalue problem. Over the years a numb...
متن کاملSpatial distribution of upstream magnetospheric 350 keV ions
We present for the ®rst time a statistical study of 350 keV ion events of a magnetospheric origin upstream from Earth's bow shock. The statistical analysis of the 50±220 keV ion events observed by the IMP-8 spacecraft shows: (1) a dawn±dusk asymmetry in ion distributions, with most events and lower intensities upstream from the quasi-parallel pre-dawn side (4 LT± 6 LT) of the bow shock, (2) hig...
