Multipoint Analysis of the Temporal Scale of Bursty Bulk Flow Events during the Quiet Time of Magnetotail

Dandouras, I.; Reme, H.; Cao, Jin-Bin +3 more

A series of Bursty Bulk Flow events (BBFs) were observed by CLUSTER satellites during the quiet time of the magnetotail in 2001. The data of multi-satellites of CLUSTER show that the duration of BBFs observed by multi-satellites is longer than that of BBFs previously observed by single satellite. The duration of multi-satellites is about twice tha…

A Study of Orientation and Motion of Flux Transfer Events Observed at High-Latitude Dayside Magnetopause

Balogh, A.; Daly, P. W.; Reme, H. +4 more

This paper investigates 13 FTEs, which were detected by Cluster II in magnetosheath near the cusp region during February to March 2001. The orientation of the FTE tube axis is derived by virtue of minimum variance analysis (MVA) using magnetic field data from the four Cluster spacecraft. Of the 13 events, 6 axis directions are determined reliably,…
