Potential role of kinetic Alfvén waves and whistler waves in solar wind plasmas
Goldstein, M. L.; Sharma, R. P.; Nandal, P. +1 more
Spacecraft observations indicate the signatures of highly oblique kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) and whistler waves in the solar wind plasma. In the present work, we explore the possible role of KAWs and whistler waves in the observed solar wind magnetic turbulent spectrum. The nonlinear spatial evolution of KAW is studied including the effects of th…
Multi-satellite observations of energy transport during an intense geomagnetic storm
Dunlop, M. W.; Duan, Aiying; Ma, Yuduan +1 more
Energy transport during a geomagnetic substorm is a very important process for solar wind-magnetosphere energy coupling and the energy cycle in the magnetotail. In this paper, we use magnetotail data from the five THEMIS probes and two Cluster satellites on the dayside to investigate the energy transport of one intense storm during the period from…
