Field-aligned currents in Saturn’s southern nightside magnetosphere: Subcorotation and planetary period oscillation components
We investigate magnetic data showing the presence of field-aligned magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling currents on 31 Cassini passes across Saturn’s southern postmidnight auroral region. The currents are strongly modulated in magnitude, form, and position by the phase of the southern planetary period oscillations (PPOs). PPO-independent currents are separated from PPO-related currents using the a...
متن کاملMagnetosphere-ionosphere coupling currents in Jupiter’s middle magnetosphere: effect of magnetosphere-ionosphere decoupling by field-aligned auroral voltages
We consider the effect of field-aligned voltages on the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling current system associated with the breakdown of rigid corotation of equatorial plasma in Jupiter’s middle magnetosphere. Previous analyses have assumed perfect mapping of the electric field and flow along equipotential field lines between the equatorial plane and the ionosphere, whereas it has been shown t...
متن کاملField - aligned currents during IMF 0
We report on field-aligned currents (FAC) obtained from precise magnetic field measurements made onboard the Orsted and Magsat satellites when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was near zero. We found that Region 1/Region 2 currents persist through southward IMF, IMF -• 0, and northward IMF; also the central area of both the northern and southern polar caps is always filled with FACs, eve...
متن کاملCassini observations of planetary-period magnetic field oscillations in Saturn’s magnetosphere: Doppler shifts and phase motion
[1] Cassini magnetic field observations show that few-nT oscillations near the planetary rotation period, first observed in Pioneer-11 and Voyager-1 and -2 fly-by data, are essentially ubiquitous in Saturn’s magnetosphere, though their character differs between the quasi-dipolar ring current region and the dawn tail. Examination of data from the ringcurrent region shows, however, that the obser...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
