Compressional Pc5 type pulsations in the morningside plasma sheet
We study compressional pulsations in Pc5 frequency range observed in the dawn-side at distances of about 10 RE , close to the magnetic equator. We use data obtained during two events of conjunctions between Equator-S and Geotail: 1000–1700 UT on 9 March 1998, and 0200–0600 UT on 25 April 1998. In both events, pulsations are observed after substorm activity. The pulsations are antisymmetric with...
متن کاملFast Compressional Alfven Waves in a Tokamak
Enhancement of cyclotron damping is theoretically evaluated based upon the wave E-field polarization which is modified by the two-ion hybrid resonance. The degree of enhancement and its asymmetry about the plasma center is consistent with experimental observations. The enhancement factor is very large at low plasma densities at which most of the past damping strength measurements have been repo...
متن کاملCompressional waves guided between parallel fractures
We have performed experiments on the laboratory scale to image seismic wavefronts of compressional waves that are guided between parallel fractures. The wavefronts are detected using water-coupled 1MHz piezoelectric transducers. The stiffness of the fractures is controlled by applying radial stress in a hydraulic stress apparatus that leaves the observation face of the fractured sample open to ...
متن کاملTheory of compressional and shear waves in fluidlike marine sediments
An unconsolidated, saturated marine sediment consists of a more or less loose assemblage of mineral grains in contact, with seawater in the interstices. It is postulated that the two-phase medium possesses no skeletal frame, implying that the elastic rigidity modulus of the material is zero. A theory of wave propagation in such a sediment is developed, in which the medium is treated as a fluid ...
متن کاملAVO attributes of compressional and converted shear waves
In this article we investigate AVO effects of large offset P-wave data (up to ) and converted waves (up to ). In addition to conventional P-wave AVO attributes ( and ) a third term ( ) is examined. For P to S converted waves we introduce two AVO attributes and . Background trends for certain cross plots are related to rock property relationships. These new attributes are used to discriminate co...
