Evidence of transverse magnetospheric field line oscillations as observed from Cluster and ground magnetometers
The dynamic spectrum of ULF waves from magnetic field data obtained by the elliptically orbiting Cluster satellites (with an apogee of 119 000 km, perigee of 19 000 km and the orbital period of 57 h) have been prepared in the frequency range 0 to 120 mHz when the satellite was near its perigee. The existence of field line oscillations, with increasing frequency in the inbound sector and decreas...
متن کاملSolar wind driving of magnetospheric ULF waves: Field line resonances driven by dynamic pressure fluctuations
[1] Several observational studies suggest that solar wind dynamic pressure fluctuations can drive magnetospheric ultralow‐frequency (ULF) waves on the dayside. To investigate this causal relationship, we present results from Lyon‐Fedder‐Mobarry (LFM) global, three‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the solar wind–magnetosphere interaction. These simulations are driven with syn...
متن کاملMonitoring the plasmapause using geomagnetic field line resonances
[1] This paper discusses the use of ground magnetometer data to derive plasma mass density profiles of the dayside plasmapause region with spatial and temporal resolution in the range 0.15–0.4 RE and 20–60 min. This is achieved using cross-phase techniques to identify field line resonance signatures that are not apparent in power spectra. Under quiet conditions, mass density profiles do not sho...
متن کاملField line resonances in a cylindrical plasma
An experimental study of the response to an impulsive driver in a low beta helium plasma is presented. Field line resonance ~FLR! spectra are recorded and compared to an ideal magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! theory with finite ion cyclotron frequency corrections. The agreement between observed and predicted values is generally within the frequency resolution of the measurements except for the lowest ...
متن کاملDiscrete Auroral Arcs and Nonlinear Dispersive Field Line Resonances
Dispersive effects in field line resonances (FLRs) are discussed in the context of potential structures, parallel currents, and auroral density cavities observed by the FAST satellite. Our model includes the Earth’s dipole magnetic field, and accounts for electron inertia, electron thermal pressure, finite ion gyroradius effects, and field aligned variations of the plasma density and ambient el...
