A mode filter for plasma waves in the Hall-MHD approximation

Glassmeier, K. -H.; Motschmann, U.; Vocks, C.

A filter method is presented which allows a qualitative and quantitative identification of wave modes observed with plasma experiments on satellites. Hitherto existing mode filters are based on the MHD theory and thus they are restricted to low frequencies well below the ion cyclotron frequency. The present method is generalized to cover wave mode…

Analysis of thick, non-planar boundaries using the discontinuity analyser

Dunlop, M. W.; Woodward, T. I.

The advent of missions comprised of phased arrays of spacecraft, with separation distances ranging down to at least mesoscales, provides the scientific community with an opportunity to accurately analyse the spatial and temporal dependencies of structures in space plasmas. Exploitation of the multi-point data sets, giving vastly more information t…
