Statistical analysis of relativistic electron energies for cyclotron resonance with EMIC waves observed on CRRES
[1] Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves which propagate at frequencies below the proton gyrofrequency can undergo cyclotron resonant interactions with relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt and cause pitch-angle scattering and electron loss to the atmosphere. Typical storm-time wave amplitudes of 1–10 nT cause strong diffusion scattering which may lead to significant relativi...
متن کاملA study of magnetic drift motion of particles around the equatorial plasmapause by using the cluster observation
On August 7, 2003 the Cluster spacecraft moved through the dayside magnetosphere. The energetic particle spectrometer on board Cluster provided measurements of an extensive range of energy. Besides, satellite measurements of geomagnetic field showed a gradient magnetic field. It is known that an inhomogeneity of the magnetic field leads to a drift of charged particles. In this paper, the drift ...
متن کاملCan near-inertial internal waves in the East Sea be observed by synthetic aperture radar?
[1] Near-inertial ( 18 hours) internal waves were observed in the mid-western part of the East Sea on May 18 and 19, 2004 using C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Current and temperature measurements obtained during the field experiment from 10 May to 9 June 2004 (IWXES2004, Internal Wave eXperiment in the East Sea), were analyzed to investigate the processes by which near-inertial i...
متن کاملPlasma flow channels with ULF waves observed by Cluster and Double Star
On 14 August 2004 a large-scale magnetic structure was observed by Double Star TC-1 in the southern lobe and by Cluster in the northern lobe of the magnetotail. The structure has the signature of a (localized) dipolarization, decreasing Bx accompanied by an increasing Bz and a strong earthward flow. The propagation direction of this structure, however, seems to be more in the dawnward direction...
متن کاملComparison Between Liouville’s Theorem And Observed Latitudinal Distribution Of Trapped Ions In The Plasmapause Region
The presence of anisotropic plasma distributions, trapped at the Earth’s magnetic equator, has consequences for the electric field structure which must exist in equilibrium along the magnetic field line. Data from SCATHA and Dynamics Explorer 1indicated that the core ion distributions at the magnetic equator can be well described as bi-Maxwellian distributions, with a perpendicular temperature ...
