Low-frequency Magnetic Field Fluctuations: Dependence of the Correlation Length on Upstream Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a statistical study of magnetic field fluctuations observed by the Cluster spacecraft near the dusk/dawn meridian at the magnetosheath in the vicinity of the magnetopause. We have found that the correlation length of such fluctuations depends on the solar wind speed, distance to the magnetopause and amplitude of magnetic field magnitude fluctuations. The fluctuations with anticorrelation between density and magnetic field fluctuations (for separations up to 1 RE) have shorter correlation lengths. The slopes of FFT spectra of magnetic field magnitude fluctuations decrease with larger solar wind speed and larger distance to the magnetopause.

Statistical Study of Correlation Length of Magnetosheath Fluctuations
The paper presents a statistical study of mutual relationship of ion density and magnetic field fluctuations measured by Cluster near the dusk-dawn meridian at the magnetosheath in the vicinity of the magnetopause. In this region, we have found that the correlation length of such fluctuations does not exceed ≈1 RE in the analyzed frequency range of 0.001–0.125 Hz. The fluctuations have often sh...
متن کاملAngular Dependence of Jitter Radiation Spectra from Small-Scale Magnetic Turbulence
Jitter radiation is produced by relativistic electrons moving in turbulent smallscale magnetic fields such as those produced by streaming Weibel-type instabilities at collisionless shocks in weakly magnetized media. Here we present a comprehensive study of the dependence of the jitter radiation spectra on the properties of, in general, anisotropic magnetic turbulence. We obtained that the radia...
متن کاملInfluence of Induced Magnetic Field and Partial Slip on the Peristaltic Flow of a Couple Stress Fluid in an Asymmetric Channel
This paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. The two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number. The exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave...
متن کاملEnergy states and exchange energy of coupled double quantum dot in a magnetic field
The ground state energies of two interacting electrons confined in a coupled double quantum dot (DQD) presented in a magnetic field has been calculated by solving the relative Hamiltonian using variational and exact diagonalization methods. The singlet-triplet transitions in the angular momentum and spin of the quantum dot ground state had been shown .We have studied the magnetic field versus c...
متن کاملInterplanetary coronal mass ejection and ambient interplanetary magnetic field correlations during the Sun-Earth connection events of October–November 2003
[1] Magnetic field observations made during 28 October to 1 November 2003, which included two fast interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), allow a study of correlation lengths of magnetic field parameters for two types of interplanetary (IP) structures: ICMEs and ambient solar wind. Further, they permit the extension of such investigations to the magnetosheath and to a distance along the...
