A multi-spacecraft survey of magnetic field line draping in the dayside magnetosheath
When the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) encounters the Earth’s magnetosphere, it is compressed and distorted. This distortion is known as draping, and plays an important role in the interaction between the IMF and the geomagnetic field. This paper considers a particular aspect of draping, namely how the orientation of the IMF in a plane perpendicular to the Sun-Earth line (the clock angle)...
متن کاملCluster magnetic field observations in the magnetosheath: four-point measurements of mirror structures
The Cluster spacecraft have returned the first simultaneous four-point measurements of the magnetosheath. We present an analysis of data recorded on 10 November 2000, when the four spacecrafts observed an interval of strong mirror-like activity. Correlation analysis between spacecraft pairs is used to examine the scale size of the mirror structures in three dimensions. Two examples are presente...
متن کاملDayside magnetopause transients correlated with changes of the magnetosheath magnetic field orientation
The paper analyses one long-term pass (26 August 2007) of the THEMIS spacecraft across the dayside low-latitude magnetopause. THEMIS B, serving partly as a magnetosheath monitor, observed several changes of the magnetic field that were accompanied by dynamic changes of the magnetopause location and/or the structure of magnetopause layers observed by THEMIS C, D, and E, whereas THEMIS A scanned ...
متن کاملEffects of variations in magnetic Reynolds number on magnetic field distribution in electrically conducting fluid under magnetohydrodynamic natural convection
In this study the effect of magnetic Reynolds number variation on magnetic distribution of natural convection heat transfer in an enclosure is numerically investigated. The geometry is a two dimensional enclosure which the left wall is hot, the right wall is cold and the top and bottom walls are adiabatic. Fluid is molten sodium with Pr=0.01 and natural convection heat transfer for Rayleigh num...
متن کاملMultispacecraft measurements of plasma and magnetic eld variations in the magnetosheath: Comparison with Spreiter models and motion of the structures
Large (from tens of percent up to several times) ion ux (or density) and magnetic eld magnitude variations are typical magnetosheath features. Case and statistical comparisons of simultaneous solar wind observations, magnetosheath observations, and the gasdynamic model for the magnetosheath ow of Spreiter et al. (Planet. Space Sci. 14 (1966) 223) show that two types of magnetosheath plasma and ...
