Different 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 کاملMagnetospheric electron density model inferred from Polar plasma wave data
[1] Observations of the electron density ne based on measurement of the upper hybrid resonance frequency by the Polar spacecraft Plasma Wave Instrument (PWI) are available for March 1996 to September 1997, during which time the Polar orbit sampled all magnetic local time (MLT) values three times. Using the entire data set, we bin the ne values with respect to maximum field line radius LRE and r...
متن کاملField line resonances in discretized magnetospheric models: an artifact study
For more than two decades numerical models of the Earth's magnetosphere have been used successfully to study magnetospheric dynamic features such as the excitation of ULF pulsations and the mechanism of ®eld line resonance. However, numerical formulations simplify important properties of the real system. For instance the Alfve n continuum becomes discrete because of a ®nite grid size. This dis...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Magnetospheric Line Radiation
We present a short overview of results obtained by a systematic survey of line radiation events observed by the DEMETER spacecraft at an altitude of 700 km. We find two different classes of events that can be easily distinguished by the observed frequency separation of lines forming the event – if it is 50/100 Hz or 60/120 Hz then the event is most probably caused by electromagnetic radiation f...
متن کاملGeneral Theory of Cycle-Dependence of Total pi-Electron Energy
The theoretical treatment of cycle-effects on total pi-electron energy, mainly elaborated by Nenad Trinajstic and his research group, is re-stated in a general and more formal manner. It enables to envisage several other possible ways of measuring the cycle-effects and points at further directions of research.
