On the origin of high m magnetospheric waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] A survey of Advanced Rio‐Imaging Experiment in Scandinavia data reveals evidence for a previously overlooked generation mechanism of high azimuthal wave number magnetospheric waves. Here we present observations of pulsating cosmic noise absorption with azimuthal wave numbers as high as 380, suggestive of precipitation modulation by magnetospheric waves. Dispersion relations of the small‐scale precipitation pulsations are indicative of the proposed origin. Previous studies of magnetospheric waves, together with data from the Charge And Mass Magnetospheric Ion Composition Experiment (Magnetospheric Ion Composition Sensor) instrument aboard the Polar spacecraft, provide support for the theory.

Electron-scale sheets of whistlers close to the magnetopause
Whistler emissions close to the magnetopause on the magnetospheric side are investigated using the four Cluster spacecraft. The waves are found to be generated in thin (electron-scale) sheets moving with the plasma drift velocity. A feature in the electron data coincides with the waves; hot magnetospheric electrons disappear for a few satellite spins. This produces or enhances a temperature ani...
متن کاملHigh-latitude HF Doppler observations of ULF waves: 2. Waves with small spatial scale sizes
The DOPE (Doppler Pulsation Experiment) HF Doppler sounder located near Tromsù, Norway (geographic: 69.6°N 19.2°E; L = 6.3) is deployed to observe signatures, in the high-latitude ionosphere, of magnetospheric ULF waves. A type of wave has been identi®ed which exhibits no simultaneous ground magnetic signature. They can be subdivided into two classes which occur in the dawn and dusk local time ...

متن کاملProbing the relationship between electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves and plasmaspheric plumes near geosynchronous orbit
[1] Plasmaspheric plumes created during disturbed geomagnetic conditions have been suggested as a major cause of increased occurrences of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves at these times. We have catalogued occurrences of strong Pc1 EMIC waves from 1996 through 2003 at three automated geophysical observatories operated by the British Antarctic Survey at auroral zone latitudes in Antarc...
متن کاملThe role of damped Alfvén waves on magnetospheric accretion models of young stars
We examine the role of Alfvén wave damping in heating the plasma in the magnetic funnels of magnetospheric accretion models of young stars. We study four different damping mechanisms of the Alfvén waves: nonlinear, turbulent, viscous-resistive and collisional. Two different possible origins for the Alfvén waves are discussed: 1) Alfvén waves generated at the surface of the star by the shock pro...
