Hemispheric asymmetry of the afternoon electron aurora
[1] Using ultraviolet images from two global auroral imagers, IMAGE FUV in the northern hemisphere and Polar UVI in the south, we present the first synoptic scale conjugate observations of the dayside aurora. We find that the morphology of the afternoon aurora is significantly different in the two hemispheres. Multiple spots in a ‘‘string of pearls’’ configuration are seen in the southern hemis...
متن کاملElectron acceleration above thunderclouds
The acceleration of electrons results in observable electromagnetic waves which can be used for remote sensing. Here, we make use of ∼4 Hz–66 MHz radio waves emitted by two consecutive intense positive lightning discharges to investigate their impact on the atmosphere above a thundercloud. It is found that the first positive lightning discharge initiates a sprite where electrons are accelerated...
متن کاملRelativistic electron beams above thunderclouds
Non-luminous relativistic electron beams above thunderclouds have been detected by the radio signals of low frequency ∼40–400 kHz which they radiate. The electron beams occur ∼2–9 ms after positive cloud-to-ground lightning discharges at heights between ∼22–72 km above thunderclouds. Intense positive lightning discharges can also cause sprites which occur either above or prior to the electron b...
متن کاملElectron trapping in shear Alfvén waves that power the aurora.
Results from 1D Vlasov drift-kinetic plasma simulations reveal how and where auroral electrons are accelerated along Earth's geomagnetic field. In the warm plasma sheet, electrons become trapped in shear Alfvén waves, preventing immediate wave damping. As waves move to regions with larger v(Te)/v(A), their parallel electric field decreases, and the trapped electrons escape their influence. The ...
متن کاملKönig Deletion Sets and Vertex Covers above the Matching Size
A graph is König-Egerváry if the size of a minimum vertex cover equals the size of a maximum matching in the graph. We show that the problem of deleting at most k vertices to make a given graph König-Egerváry is fixedparameter tractable with respect to k. This is proved using interesting structural theorems on matchings and vertex covers which could be useful in other contexts. We also show an ...
