Electron hybrid code simulation of whistler-mode chorus generation with real parameters in the Earth's inner magnetosphere

Katoh, Yuto; Omura, Yoshiharu

We carry out a self-consistent simulation of the generation process of whistler-mode chorus by a spatially one-dimensional electron hybrid code, by assuming the magnetic field inhomogeneity corresponding to L = 4 of the dipole field. Chorus emissions with rising tones are reproduced in the simulation result, while the frequency range, sweep rate, …

Cluster observation of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the plasma sheet boundary layer

Narita, Y.

Measurement of turbulent magnetic field is presented from the Earth magnetotail crossing of the Cluster spacecraft on August 25, 2006, as an ideal case study of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the plasma sheet boundary layer on a spatial scale of about 10,000 km. The fluctuation energy of the magnetic field is evaluated in both the frequency and…
